A practical guide to understanding sensory needs

Laura Petix, an occupational therapist, organizes this guide around how sensory processing can shape children’s emotions, behavior, and daily routines. It introduces the idea of a child’s individual sensory profile, then connects that understanding to hands-on strategies for common challenges, including meltdowns, sensitivities, and seeking sensory input. The book also offers language for explaining how a child’s brain works and approaches intended to support empathy and connection within the family. Its emphasis is on practical, neurodivergent-friendly ways to respond to children’s needs while helping them navigate everyday environments.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Parents and caregivers seeking practical ways to understand a child’s sensory needs.
  • Families navigating sensory sensitivities, sensory seeking, meltdowns, or daily routines.
  • Readers interested in occupational-therapy-informed approaches to children’s emotions and behavior.

Book overview

A practical guide to supporting your child's sensory needs - and celebrating their uniqueness - from @TheOTButterfly

As every parent knows, kids don't come with an instruction manual. Decoding problem behavior and identifying your child's unique needs can feel like a daily struggle - particularly when it comes to sensory challenges.

In this relatable and informative guide, occupational therapist Laura Petix presents a guided tour of your child's brain and nervous system - and offers tools for helping kids thrive in an overwhelming world that's not set up for them. Filled with simple explainers and hands-on techniques, the book reveals:

  • Understanding your child's unique sensory profile
  • Decoding the needs underneath your child's big emotions and problem behavior
  • Everyday tools for more harmony and connection
  • Language to help your child understand how their brain works.
  • Strategies for overcoming frustration and dialing up empathy - for your child and yourself.

Whether you're managing meltdowns, nurturing a sensory seeker, navigating sensory sensitivities, or tackling daily routines, this book will empower you with expert-guided, neurodivergent-friendly tools to support your child and experience more joy and regulation in your daily lives.
