Review:
A good OCD workbook for kids is best judged by whether it would still be a good workbook for adults and Crushing OCD Workbook for Kids does not disappoint. Daniels skillfully strips away a lot of the unnecessary abstractions that pad adult workbooks and articulates the core concepts to a young audience that just needs the facts. OCD is a thought filtering problem, as she explains, and this filter can be further jammed or effectively unjammed. The book leads with building up an awareness of the readers strengths and guides them step-by-step through the most effective unjamming tools. Kids who utilize this resource (with or without the guidance of a therapist or parent) will come away inspired to take command of their OCD. – Jon Hershfield, LCMFT, Director of the Center for OCD and Anxiety at Sheppard Pratt and author of When a Family Member Has OCD.
