Helping My Child Feel Calm and Ready
When a child seems overwhelmed by noise, clothing, movement, touch or everyday routines, parents often wonder what is happening and what they can safely do at home. This visual guide explains sensory processing in clear language and gives practical ideas around touch, heavy work, movement, regulation and recognising when a child needs more support.
A note about safe sensory support
Some techniques in this booklet, including sensory brushing and therapist applied joint compression, are only appropriate when they have been specifically assessed, prescribed and demonstrated by an occupational therapist. They are not general activities to try without individual guidance.
What’s inside
Sensory processing basics, sensory seeking and avoiding patterns, tactile play, proprioception, heavy work, movement and balance, calming and alerting movement, sensory brushing safety guidance, joint pressure guidance, overwhelm and meltdown support and regulation ideas.
Who it is for
Parents and caregivers of children who become overwhelmed, seek lots of movement, avoid certain textures or sounds, struggle with transitions or need support to feel calm and ready for daily activities.
What this helps with
Help parents understand sensory patterns and respond with safer, more thoughtful everyday support while knowing when individual occupational therapy guidance is important.
