Ok Lady's I need some help. My son will be 3 in August. I have noticed he has bad anxiety about everything and he also has OCD everything has to be perfect and in its place or he freaks out. I am the same way with both. Is he just picking it up from me or could he really have these things. I have no clue and I don't know how to help him with it. My father says I was the same way as a child and well at the age of 10 I had to be put on med because my anxiety was so bad I did not want to leave the house. I just am at a loss as to how to help my little man.
I have severe anxiety as well, my childhood was aweful. In a group I’m in some people swear I’ve only had anxiety for as long as I have because someone taught me to be that way. I personally think otherwise. I’d say take him to see a therapist sooner than later just to be sure and then he can learn to cope with it. If all else fails he could be put on meds. Or just on top of therapy to help.
My family in notorious for liking things a certain way. I figured it was a trait that was learned. When my son was about a year he started showing some of these tendencies. The things he was doing wasn’t things that I do but along the same lines. I’m pretty convinced it’s in our DNA. I could be wrong though.
I don't think he's picking up from you. I have 7 kids and none of them show OCD symptoms. I have it and been dealing with it for years. Your son most likely have it
Thank you lady's I got Thursday to his regual Dr and I am going to ask about seeing someone for it.
