My son's OCD is completely out of control... we had it under control for a while, but now he it's going bad again. He is only 5 so he has a hard time vocalizing what is upsetting him to make him act like he does, but now he has gone and taken all the screws out of his bed and out of his brother's bed. I don't know what to do about him! I can't be with him 24/7 because I have things (like laundry and dishes) to do, and when I am doing the dishes after dinner is when he is the worst. I also have OCD so I know it's not his fault it's the OCD. But, I can be a little more rational about not acting on my obsessions. How the heck do you rationalize with a 5 year old with OCD! Does anyone else have any advice about how I can help him knock it off??
