1) Learn the vocabulary of an anxiety specialist, starting with the BIG three: Triggers, Obsessions, and Compulsions.

2) Naming the OCD or worry monster can bring you and your child together.

3) Family accommodations keep families stuck.

4) Be ready to apply parenting skills and ERP to the next OCD problem areas.

5) Allow for corrective experiences.
