Help parents understand not just what accommodation occurred, but what made it so difficult not to accommodate.
Family accommodation is one of the most important maintaining factors in pediatric OCD and anxiety and one of the hardest patterns for parents to change. This ACT-informed worksheet helps clinicians move beyond simply identifying accommodation by guiding parents to explore the thoughts, emotions, present-moment awareness, willingness, and values that influenced their response.
Rather than only addressing accommodation as a behavior to eliminate, this worksheet helps families understand the psychological processes that keep accommodation going. By examining what happened above the surface (the accommodation itself) and below the surface (the parent's internal experience), clinicians can facilitate richer discussions, strengthen case conceptualization, and help parents make more flexible, values-guided choices.
Use this worksheet to deepen parent coaching, reinforce ACT-consistent principles alongside ERP, and generate meaningful between-session learning.
Help parents:
Recognize patterns of family accommodation
Identify the thoughts and emotions that influence accommodation
Increase present-moment awareness during challenging interactions
Connect parenting decisions to their values
Build greater psychological flexibility when responding to child anxiety and OCD
Reflect on patterns between sessions to support lasting behavior change
Best for:
Parent coaching
Between-session homework
What's included: A clean, professionally designed one-page fillable worksheet, ready to print or use digitally with clients.
