The Importance of Inhibiting Reflexes in Child Development
Primitive Reflexes are automatic movements present at birth that should naturally be inhibited as a child grows. However, if these reflexes persist beyond early childhood, they can interfere with key aspects of development.
In this session, we’ll discuss what primitive reflexes are, why it’s crucial for them to be inhibited, and what happens when they aren’t. You’ll learn how unsolved reflexes can affect a child’s development, their physical coordination, balance, attention, and academic success. Understanding and addressing primitive reflexes is vital in ensuring children develop the necessary motor and cognitive skills for long-term success.
