And honestly? We love that this is becoming a thing.
If you're a parent, therapist or educator, you're probably sick of the stocking stuffers that add to the chaos. Instead, you may consider to give the gift of regulation.
As a team of paediatric OTs, we set out to create resources and programs that feel a little different...
Therapy tools should not feel clinical or punitive.
They should not ask kids to ābehave betterā.
And they definitely should not rely on shame, charts or unrealistic expectations.
They should feel like play, like connection and like something kids genuinely want to explore.
So yes, people gifting therapy resources for Christmas makes perfect sense to us.
Because when a resource supports emotional understanding, sensory needs, identity, confidence and connection, it truly is a gift.
š What Makes These Resources Feel So Different?
Every resource inside Ready Rocket is designed around a few core beliefs we hold as OTs:
ā All brains are valid.
ā Regulation is learned through co-regulation, not consequences.
ā Play is the most natural learning pathway.
ā Kids deserve tools that honour their neurotype, not suppress it.
ā The nervous system learns best when it feels safe.
This means every activity, visual and program is built to nurture, not fix.
Children recognise themselves in the stories.
Therapists feel supported rather than stretched thin.
Parents feel empowered rather than overwhelmed.
It is why these resources work so naturally in therapy rooms, classrooms and homes.

š Consider A Christmas Gift That Does Not Add to the Noise
This season is full of gifts.Ā Sometimes the most meaningful gift is something that helps a child feel understood, or helps a therapist feel supported, or gives a parent a sense of āI can actually do this.ā
If therapy resources end up wrapped under your tree this year, we think that is something to celebrate, because it means emotional wellbeing is being treated like what it truly is: A lifelong gift. šš
