Intro: 9 year old son with OCD and Tics

[Guest guest]

Hello! I have a 9 year old son who has really bad tics and OCD.

I now started homeschooling him because I was burnt out with the

public school system. He gets bad depression and I think the setting

was bad for his self-esteem. Things are a little better, but he still

gets very angry and slightly depressed. I don't have him on meds. I

would like to exhaust all other options first. Is there anyone that

has tried anything else and had improvements? I'm frustrated and

scared, it makes me so sad to see him struggle Thanks for any

advice. I really think this will be a good group for me. Danalee
