In the wake of today’s tragic school shooting in Minneapolis, many parents are facing the challenge of caring for their children while coping with their own grief. We’ve put together tips to help you support kids as they process fear and loss.

For families directly affected, our Helping Children Cope After a Traumatic Event guide may be especially useful:

During this month of July at NeuroChild we will focus our posts around one of the things that makes us all so human, our social connections. Everything that makes humans uniquely social is present in children from the very beginning—just in early, developing forms. Children are wired for connection. But unlike adults, they need co-regulation, modeling, and safe relationships to fully grow into these complex social and emotional capacities.

What we give them relationally in childhood becomes the blueprint for how they relate to themselves and others for life.

How those unique human traits show up in children?
👫 Emotional Complexity Starts Early

👫 Storytelling Becomes Identity

👫 Attunement Builds the Social Brain

👫 Relationships Are the Curriculum

👫 Belonging Shapes the Self

👫 Children Long to Be Understood

If we cherish the moments, nurture our relationships, and bring joy into each other's lives we are successful indeed. ❤️

The gaps you may find in a child’s learning and foundational development if…

They have one or more retained Primitive Reflexes.

Primitive reflexes develop in the womb or when the baby is born. If unintegrated when the child is born, they can cause a whole slew of issues for the child as they grow older.

You may not know if a reflex is retained, but you will see some red flags that don’t make sense.

Some of the following delays you may find include:

🤭Delayed reading and writing skills
🤭Attention and focus trouble
🤭Sensory sensitivities
🤭Trouble with following directions and completing tasks
🤭Can be very emotional (fight or flight)
🤭Doesn’t know how to interact with peers

Children with retained Primitive Reflexes won’t “grow out” of them as they get older because the reflexes can’t integrate on their own. Many times, they will continue to cause trouble as the child enters adulthood.

To learn more about how you can integrate the reflexes and all the signs and symptoms you may find, comment “FLAG” and we’ll send you the link.
