�Redirect Unhealthy Behaviour �

My son was having some OCD type behaviours, constantly checking if the fridge door was closed, worrying about the food going bad.

Instead of telling him to stop, I told him to do it more.

“Go check the fridge” every 2 minutes.

///THREAD///

“Go check the fridge”

“Its good”

“Go check the fridge again just to be sure”

“ok” (repeat 20x)

“Its fine Dad, Im not checking it again, this is annoying”

“Ok, if you’re sure the fridge is closed you can stop”

“Hey, I no longer feel the need to check the fridge”

“I know”
