AT Parenting Survival | Raising Kids with OCD & Anxiety

Natasha Daniels is a child therapist with over 20 years of experience treating OCD and anxiety in kids -- and she is also a parent of children with these conditions. That dual perspective makes AT Parenting Survival uniquely practical. With 474 episodes and a 4.9-star rating from over 1,200 reviews, this weekly podcast has become the definitive resource for parents navigating OCD and anxiety in their families. Natasha covers everything from managing compulsions at home to finding the right therapist, understanding accommodation cycles, and knowing when behavior is anxiety-driven versus typical kid pushback. Her tone is reassuring without being dismissive, and she breaks down complex clinical concepts into language that parents can use immediately. Episodes cover specific scenarios: what to do when your child refuses school, how to handle bedtime rituals that have become OCD-driven, and when to push versus when to support. She also addresses the guilt and exhaustion that parents of anxious kids carry, which most OCD podcasts overlook entirely. The show is equally useful for mental health professionals who treat children. If you are a parent whose child has received an OCD or anxiety diagnosis, this podcast should be one of the first things you listen to.
