OCD in DGC

It sounds as if she is v anxious , OCD behaviour manifests as a way of coping with anxious thoughts if that's what they are . You say she is at nursery 7.30 till 5 ? it is a very long day for such a young child and perhaps she is over tired on top of everything else .
I would not stop her having her `comfort items` until she is more settled in the new house especially as she gets so upset . Maybe try to undress her when she has gone to sleep so she doesn`t boil !
Quite often they grow out of these things but I understand your concern , maybe you could ask her about it when she is with you to try to find out if something is bothering her .xx

Thanks Anniebach do hope so. She's too young really to understand about the house move although we have said to her she's going to have a lovely new room soon and, of course, she says "no" but then she tends to say that to most things! The packers have been in today, house now full of boxes so she will realise soon that something's up that's for sure. She's spending Easter with Mummy and Daddy and other grandparents which she adores so she'll have a wonderful few days but. . . . Then back to a rented home for a few weeks. Like you I think/hope it will pass. They are aware of it so will do what needs to be done all in good time-hope it's not five though!

I have a nephew who had a problem when he was about five Newquay it passed. Perhaps the little mite is concerned about the move and it will pass when they have settled in. She is very young , could be the same as our elder daughter who would not get into bed until her panda was in the bed first.
