POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy4 years ago

A. A child with OCD has obsessive thoughts that are not wanted. They are linked to fears, such as touching dirty objects. He or she uses compulsive rituals to control the fears, such as excessive handwashing. As children grow, rituals and obsessive thoughts normally happen with a purpose and focus based on age.
