To get us all thinking about how the brain is impacted by the movement of the body here is a quick reference chart on some of the reflexes that impact our ability to learn.
Remember Primitive reflexes aren’t always the bad guys. We need them when we are young – but when we get past 4 years old they should have done their dash. I mean, who wants to see a 10 year old try to suck on his sandwich!?
In all seriousness, if children do continue to have a few of these Primitive Reflexes going on after 4 years of age it does become very difficult for them to focus on academic learning and sports.
Anyway, check out the chart, post a comment or two, or contact me now if you think some of these symptoms sound like your child. The good news is your child doesn’t have to stay this way!
Happy reading!
