My 8 yr old daughter says she has to do certain things to make sure nothing bad will happen. For instance, she may have to take three steps backward and then continue walking normally, or she may have arrange the pillows in a certain exact way or she may have to put her toys in a certain order. She feels she "has" to do these things and she is complaining to me about it. When I tell her that no one is making her do anything, she says she has to do it to stop something bad from happening to a member of the family. How can I help her?
