This time of year brings extra excitement and with that often extra overwhelm.

As parents you are doing your best to read the moment, protect their capacity, and choose the kindest option, even when neither choice feels easy.

Thank you for all your input on our recent Christmas poll! 🎄✨
We’ve put together this post in the hope that it offers some support, reassurance, and practical ideas for our ND children and their families during the festive season.

Every child’s needs are valid, every families Christmas looks different, and small neuroaffirming changes can make a big difference.
We hope this helps make the coming weeks feel a little calmer and more predictable for those who need it most.

Season changes can feel big for ND kids, darker evenings, bright-but-cold days, and shifts in routine all impact how their bodies and brains feel.

At The Sensory Spot, we are not Speech and Language Therapists, but understanding Gestalt Language Processing helps us connect more deeply with ND children who join us in clinic for sessions.

ND parents, if your child’s dysregulation hits your own nervous system hard, please know: nothing is wrong with you. Your sensitivity is real, valid, and human.

Co-regulation is messy, imperfect, and completely normal. You’re doing better than you think. 💛

This young man showed up with a plan today, and he stuck with it until he got the result he wanted.
Never underestimate a neurodivergent child’s drive to master what matters to them.

Screens can soothe, support, or overwhelm. Each child tells us something different. Here is a gentle reminder to find the rhythm that fits your family.

You don't have to stay perfectly calm for your child. You just have to keep coming back to connection, to repair, to kindness.

You’re not overreacting. You’re observing the truth others miss.
