I have heard of children displaying OCD symptoms/tendencies at age 3. However, I don't think from what you are describing that your son has OCD. Children (as well as adults) like to feel secure. They like the same old banket, stuffed animal, or a particular toy that gives them a feeling of comfort and familiarity And most children have routines (not obsessions) that bring them a sense of comfort and consistency in their lives. I think you are wise to be concerned, but I think what you are describing is pretty normal behavior for a 3 year old. :)
