Thanks so much for the reply, I’ll get the book and see how we go

Looking for some advice. My daughter is 11 and has recently become very anxious about washing her hands. She says she is worried about catching an infection / getting ill if she doesn’t, and says that her hands feel weird if she thinks they are dirty. She is quite an anxious child and has got into a bad habit of identifying things to worry about at bedtime. Her uncle is diagnosed with OCD. I watched it develop when he was in his mid teens. It has had a major impact on his life. I’m terrified that my daughter will go the same way. What if anything can we do to stop this from developing further? I’m conscious she might not have OCD, but I am hyper-vigilant given the family history.
