Concerned that my 5 year old daughter may be showing signs of OCD !!!!

[Guest guest]

Hello, I originally began posting and reading here when my teen daughter was

diagnosed with OCD in Jan. 2011. She was almost 16 at the time. She's doing much

better under the guidance of her Psychologist and her meds.

My concern of late is my youngest daughter. She is 5 years old and I am noticing

some behavior that I think could be OCD traits!!! She refuses to wipe her hands

on the towels in the bathroom because she'll get germs, she's fanatic about hand

washing and will sometimes wash her hands several times or leave her hands under

the water for long periods of time to get all the germs off!! Before she goes

to sleep at night, while lying in bed, she " has " to fix her hair a certain way

over her ears before she can sleep and if she feels her hair isn't right, she

gets frustrated and begins to cry!!! She is very fussy about her clothes, ie.

what colors she wears, how her underwear fits,if her socks are on staright, and

if certain people touch her hair after she brushes it,she'll get a tissue and

wipe her head with it!!!

Maybe I'm being paranoid,because of what we went thru with our teen daughter

just over a year ago but I don't want to let this go unattended if there's

something that can be done for her at this young age!!! Was wondering if I

should mention these things to my teen daughter's psychologist and see what she

thinks!!! Just wondering what you experienced parents think?? Thanks
