Book Description
Meltdowns. Big emotions. Constant movement. Avoidance. Shutdowns. Difficulty focusing. Struggles with clothing, food, transitions, or everyday routines.
What if these behaviors weren’t simply “bad behavior” — but messages from the nervous system?
Written by pediatric occupational therapist Christiana Cooper, Sensory Processing & Sensory Diets is a practical, parent-friendly guide designed to help adults better understand the “why” behind children’s behaviors, emotions, movement challenges, and sensory needs.
Using compassionate, easy-to-understand language, this book breaks down complex sensory concepts into simple, actionable strategies families, educators, and caregivers can immediately begin using in daily life.
Inside this guide, you’ll learn:
• What sensory processing really is — and how it impacts behavior, emotions, attention, learning, and movement
• The 8 sensory systems and how they influence everyday functioning
• Why “behavior is communication” and how to shift from punishment to understanding
• How sensory overload affects transitions, focus, emotional regulation, and routines
• The difference between sensory modulation, discrimination, habituation, and sensitization
• How motor planning, dyspraxia, and postural control impact children’s success
• What sensory diets are — and how to build one that supports your child’s nervous system
• Practical calming, alerting, and organizing activities you can use at home, school, or in the community
• How to observe patterns, track responses, and make meaningful adjustments over time
This book goes beyond theory and focuses on real-life implementation. Through relatable examples, practical strategies, and nervous-system-based thinking, you’ll learn how small changes in support can create powerful shifts in everyday life.
Instead of asking:
“Why are they acting this way?”
You’ll begin asking:
“What is their nervous system trying to communicate?”
Whether you are a parent, teacher, caregiver, therapist, or someone seeking a deeper understanding of sensory processing, this guide will help you move from confusion and frustration toward calm, connection, and confidence.
Because children do well when their nervous systems feel safe, supported, and understood.
