My Two-Year-Old May Have OCD
Posted on Wednesday, September 17, 2008Question: I have OCD as well as other mental health challenges. My daughter is at a high risk to struggle with OCD as well. She is only 2 and exhibits some OCD-like behaviors. I need simple techniques that are preventative in nature. I don’t know if she has OCD but it makes sense to do what I can now, should she develop it, to reduce the degree to which the disorder would interfere with her development. Are there resources for this issue?

Can A Preschool Child Have OCD?
Posted on Monday, September 15, 2008Question: I am a teacher of preschool children with disabilities. We seem to be observing some behaviors that could be indicative of OCD. I have been unable to locate any information with regard to this age group (3-5years). My gut is telling me NOT to force these issues and I would like info to share with other teachers with regard to approaches and techniques. Such challenging behaviors and no guidance seems to result in more harm than good. I am looking forward to your reply.
