Guest guest Posted October 15, 2000 Report Share Posted October 15, 2000 Hi Lana! I hope will come to grips with this news easily. I know its hard on these little ones, it kind of feels like to me sometimes that its just an incredible burden for them to carry at such a young age. But things do get better, my daughter was diag 2yrs ago this past July she is off of meds right now and in bmt therapy and also does e & rp. She is doing great. The books that have helped her we got in Chicago at the conference so you can order them from the OC foundation. Up and down the Worry hill by one of our list expersts, Aureen Wagner, (its great) and explains how the therapy works and everything. And also " Blink Blink Clop Clop, why do we do things we cant stop " it takes place around a farm and the horses have ocd its so cute and my daughter is a hors FANATIC!!! So she loved that one too and even brought both books in to share with her teachers. God bless you and your family!! Nikki in O'town Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2000 Report Share Posted October 15, 2000 HI: I think any list needs to be dated as there are so many new OCD books recently published and coming out of the pipeline. Even an OCD book hoarder like me has to be right on top of things to keep up <VBG>! At 08:01 PM 10/15/2000 -0500, you wrote: > >Let's put this list in the files section, what do you think?
