What to Do When Your Brain Gets Stuck, 2nd Edition A Kid's Guide to Overcoming OCD by Dawn Huebner, PhD

Rating:  4 star rating

This is a great book for parents who have a kid dealing with OCD. The author explains how loop thoughts get stuck in a child's head using regular words and fun examples that actually make sense to a kid.  It shows them how to stand up to their worries and stop doing the same habits over and over again. 

The author, Dawn Huebner, PhD, is a real clinical psychologist who specializes in childhood anxiety.  She is famous for making therapy ideas simple, and she has written several bestselling workbooks for kids, including "What to Do When You Worry Too Much".  She knows how to talk to children on their level without making them feel bad.  

I highly recommend reading this together with your child.  It uses real therapy ideas but keeps things  simple.  There are plenty of fun drawing pages and activities so kids do not get bored or stressed out while reading it.  It gives you a great way to talk about anxiety as a family and gives kids easy steps to feel like they are in control of their own brain again.

Thank you, NetGalley, American Psychological Association, and author Dawn Huebner, PhD, for providing me with a copy of this ebook review consideration.  All review opinions are my own.
