Reply To: ocd,anxiety in 6 year old, without therapist

[Vidula T]

Thank you ma’am for your reply.

Since she is 4.5 years old, she is doing a specific action like tightening her genitals with her thighs(by stiffing her whole body). At starting I thought its completely normal to explore her body, so educated her its ok to do that, but we don’t do it in a public place we should do it in private. This action became more frequent and she do this when she is anxious or bored. Nowadays she feels guilty of doing this and she is scared of whether she harmed her body after doing this.

She might have sensory motor ocd, she frequently asks our reassurance “did I just pee?”. She asks even 5minutes after using loo.

 

What ll be the findings from this ma’am? What should I do to help her?
