From the publisher

Can kids learn to outsmart OCD? Yes--and this workbook shows them how!

Recipient of the Gold NAPPA Award (National Parenting Publications Awards) and Moonbeam Silver Children's Book Award for Activity Books

Sometimes the brain gets stuck--repeating thoughts or rituals that feel impossible to stop. For kids with OCD, these patterns can take over daily life. But with the right tools, they can learn to break free and feel in charge again.

What to Do When Your Brain Gets Stuck is an empowering guide that helps kids understand obsessive-compulsive disorder and discover practical ways to manage it. Through engaging stories, fun activities, and step-by-step strategies, this interactive workbook teaches kids how to challenge OCD's tricks and build confidence in their ability to cope.

Whether your child struggles with repetitive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, or both, this book offers a clear, compassionate path toward feeling stronger, calmer, and more in control.

Key Features:

  • Perfect for kids ages 6-12 who experience obsessive thoughts or compulsive behaviors
  • Uses proven cognitive-behavioral techniques to help kids break free from OCD patterns
  • Includes hands-on exercises and creative activities to make learning engaging and effective
  • Features a supportive introduction for parents and caregivers to guide kids through the process
  • Part of the trusted What-to-Do Guides for Kids series--used by parents, educators, and therapists for more than 20 years
  • Created by Magination Press, the children's imprint of the American Psychological Association--leaders in children's mental health and well-being
