Using Mel Robbins’ Let Them Theory with Kids with Anxiety or OCD


I quickly fell in love with Mel Robbins’ book The Let Them Theory. It is such a simple, and yet powerful approach to living your life. Throughout the book I thought about how The Let Them Theory could be adapted to parents, and in particular, those of us raising kids with anxiety or OCD.

I started to implement this approach with my kids in a child friendly way. It made a huge impact on how I showed up for their anxiety and OCD struggles. It also helped me let go of what I cannot control.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk about how to implement elements of The Let Them Theory with our kids with anxiety and OCD.
