Ever hear of Retained Primitive Reflexes?
As babies, we are born with primitive reflexes – rooting, grasp, startle, suck, etc. These movements are done automatically by the baby to keep herself safe. As the baby matures, her brain should no longer be influenced by these automatic responses to stimulus. The primitive reflexes integrate in the brain as the baby/toddler/child moves on to learn new things.
If primitive reflexes don’t integrate, the automatic movements remain and interfere with brain function. The result? Children experience challenges with learning, reading, math, sitting still and more.
Many children are diagnosed with ADD and ADHD every year; many of them are misdiagnosed because retained primitive reflexes look similar to ADD/ADHD symptoms.
During the Covid-19 pandemic, children did not learn well – how could they from sitting at home learning over zoom? They could not move their bodies, participate in sports, swim or dance, to the detriment of their ability to learn.
The overwhelming result is that teachers are struggling to teach children who have learning and movement challenges. Proper movement of the body drives proper brain function, and our children, our families, our teachers and the world are now paying the price for sitting still for 2 years.
