What Is The Treatment For Obsessive–compulsive Disorder In A Child?
My seven year old daughter started to continueously tap and touch things or something she is wearing. I will give you an example. She will touch something over and over again and sometimes go back and do it again. She will also smooth out either her hair or something she may be wearing that day. It is not just one particular thing. I am worried about her. Any suggestions on what this might be?

Hi...by what you quote, I feel that your kid is having obsessive compulsive disorder. I suggest you consult with a child psychologist regarding this.
