I thought this was a great book for kids and teens with OCD. I am a therapist and I will recommend it to all my clients with OCD.

My daughter has Tourette's, which has both an OCD component and an anxiety/worry component to the disorder (as well as other aspects). We first purchased from this author the book on Worry and used it during her sessions aloud with her psychologist. It was WONDERFUL and really helped her UNDERSTAND the worry bully, which is so important once kids reach an age of concrete understanding. But when we saw that the same author had written a book on OCD, we were VERY excited to take it to our daughters sessions and begin work right away! The wording in the book is absolutely perfect for the older child and preteen age group in a way that I've not seen written before. There are many resources for parents, and several resources for very young (5 year old) kids, and many resources for older teens. But this was an age group that didn't have many resources to begin their own self-understanding of what was going on with their own thoughts and bodies in relationship to OCD and then what to do about it. This book taught ME so much about this also!!! And also how to word it and THEN HELP my daughter. The psychologist had not received information flyers about these books and so she is now recommending this author's books to other families in her practice. I highly recommend this book for any parent and child with Tourettes with and OCD component or OCD alone. Please let me know what you think also! Angie E.

This has been a great book for my 13 year old son, who has OCD, along with autism. There is a very helpful analogy comparing dealing with obsessive thoughts with entering a movie theater--just like sometimes at first the theater's air conditioning is too cold or the sound is too loud, after a while, we get used to it. In the same way, if the child waits out the anxious thought, it too will go away, as he "gets used to it". I don't often write reviews, but this book was so helpful that I wanted to make sure I recommended it to those who have children struggling with OCD.

This is must have for anyone with OCD. I am reading it over and over as you can't comprehend everything with just one reading.

My daughter is 7 and was diagnosed with OCD in Aug. This book is fantastic!!! It is full of great tools to fight OCD. The book is interactive and kid friendly. The concepts are easy for kids to understand. This book is great for parents who need something that can help free their children from OCD. We did the work book together, a little at a time,and we also got help from a therapist. The therapist mainly supported what we did in the work book, and helped reinforce the techniques and information we learned. My daughter is free from OCD thanks to this book, and a great and caring therapist. This book is a must for any parent, and child facing OCD. Forget all the other books and order this one.
