Episode description

Brian Wray and Chris Baier are on the #ReadingWithYourKids #Podcast to let us know that OCD Awareness Week is coming, Oct 9 to 15, 2022. Brian and Chris both want us to know that It is estimated that OCD affects 1% - 2% of children. That comes to roughly half a million children in the United States alone, according to the International OCD Foundation. Children as young as six can be affected.

Yet OCD is still widely misunderstood and largely considered something that only adults struggle with.
