Identifying Fix-Its

Master

Now that you’ve learned what fix-its are, work with your parent and write down fix-its you do on this Identifying Fix-Its worksheet! Or make your own by listing the fix-its on your own paper.

Here is a list of common fix-its: 

  • Washing too much
  • Checking too much (like locks or behind doors, or where exits are, or where my parent is)
  • Asking too many questions about fears
  • Spending lots of time researching fears on the Internet
  • Carrying a special object everywhere
  • Distracting myself so I do not think about my fears
  • Always having a phone with me

Did you come up with any? Finding fix-its can help you think of new things to put on your mission plans.

For example, Sally put these things on her mission plan:

  1. Wash my hands for 1 minute before eating
  2. Wash my hands for 30 seconds only once per hour
  3. Wash my hands for 30 seconds only after I eat or go to the bathroom
  4. Ask mom only one question about my health every day 
  5. Wash my hands without my favorite soap before eating
  6. Wash my hands without my favorite hand sanitizer before eating
  7. Touch a public restroom doorknob and washing for thirty seconds

Can you think of anything to put on your mission plans that will help with fix-its? Your parent has also thought about ways they can help you face your fears better throughout your mission plan practice. Work with your parent to figure out some new things to put on your mission plans and make sure to work on these new mission plan steps this week!
