Teen brains are still developing regulation skills, and December’s emotional intensity can take a toll. OT can help teens build executive functioning, routine planning, stress management, and sensory awareness to navigate this challenging month with more confidence and control.

December can bring sensory overload, unpredictable transitions, and heightened emotional demands—especially for neurodivergent children. OT supports kids with personalized sensory strategies, visual tools, movement breaks, and co-regulation approaches that match their unique needs.

Every child deserves support that honours how their brain works best.

Regulation isn’t about perfection—it’s about giving kids the tools and support they need to return to calm after stress. When we focus on regulation first, everything else becomes easier.

December is busy, but relationship moments matter more than ever. Whether it’s shared quiet time, a consistent routine, or a calming hug, connection helps kids regulate and feel safe.

This is why “Relationship” is a core CATS value all year long.

The most effective support often happens before things feel hard. Preparing kids with consistent tools — like movement breaks, visual schedules, or sensory supports — helps their nervous system stay regulated during transitions. When we plan ahead, we reduce stress for everyone.
Our OTAs support families right where they need it most — at home.

From bright lights to shifting routines, December brings BIG sensory and emotional demands. A quick look at these everyday moments helps parents understand why kids may need extra patience, support, and regulation tools this month.

Your child isn’t falling apart—December is just a lot.

When life feels busy and unpredictable, kids often feel it in their bodies first. Predictability helps the nervous system feel safe, making it easier for children to regulate emotions, behaviour, and attention. Simple tools like visual schedules, clear expectations, and consistent routines can make a big difference during end-of-year changes.

Co-regulation is powerful. When we slow down, breathe, and model calm, we give kids an anchor when everything else feels big or unpredictable.

You don’t need perfection—just presence.

December adds layers of sensory, emotional, and routine-based pressure that children aren’t always equipped to navigate alone. Understanding the “why” helps us meet their needs with patience, structure, and tools that truly work.

If your child struggles this time of year, OT can make a huge difference.

December puts a lot on a child’s plate. New routines, busy environments, and shifting expectations can stretch their regulation skills to the max.

A little extra understanding—and a few supportive tools—goes a long way.

When everything around them feels busy or unpredictable, kids rely on routines to feel safe and grounded. A steady rhythm—morning check-ins, consistent transitions, visual schedules—can make December feel much more manageable for their minds and bodies.

If your child struggles with changes this time of year, our team is here to help.
