[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 412431, member: 1722"] Thanks everyone. SW- she doesn't carry an Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) diagnosis (though I have wondered in the past ;) ) but she meets the all but one of the other symptoms (hasn't bed wet or had incontinence issues). She does have a very strong hand washing habit but she is only doing it when appropriate (before meals, after playing outside, after using the bathroom, etc). She washes a lot more than a typical 10 year old and has since the doctor told her at age 7 that good hand washing habits is the best way to keep from getting sick and aggravating her asthma. I've been carefully concerned and kept an eye on it but there's nothing ritualistic about it... she just doesn't want to get sick. She also keeps hand sanitizer on her desk & her teacher says she only uses after group activities and when she can't leave the class to wash her hands. Her teacher said it's done appropriately and she wishes more kids would follow suit. But I worry.... [/QUOTE]
