Sometimes behaviour gets worse before it gets better…. The brain must go through its milestones of development….
Thank you Dr Melillo for this share

They are necessary, expected, and desirable. As in normal brain development, the child will experience the behavior and eventually pass through it. And here’s the good news:

Your child will usually go through these stages rather quickly. A year’s worth of “catchup” may actually only take a few weeks.

This means that all behavior changes— both good and bad— that you
see while going through the Melillo Method are a sign of positive change in the brain.

As a child’s brain neurology starts to change as we stimulate growth, behavior definitely does change and what that behavior will be depends on where the deficits are, the severity of the deficits, and the child’s age.

Does your child have trouble with learning? 🧠🧠🧠

Retained Primitive reflexes may cause many symptoms which impact classroom academic performance. 📕 📗 📘

These are reversible with a brain-based approach such as that used Brainfit Kids 🧠 🧠🧠

Even stereotypies, or what is referred to as stims, in which children flap their arms, rock back and forth, or run around in circles, is typical for a
four and a half year-old, but not in an older child.

Other things, such as stuttering, tics, obsessiveness, compulsivity, and oppositional behavior are all normal at a certain age. When new behaviors come into play, they are gone.

So, it’s not the behavior that’s out of sync, it’s the timing!

Why is red and Infrared light therapy an important part of what we do at Brainfit Kids?
Dr Cedermark explains…..

Using photobiomodulation (PBM) on the cerebellum in a functional neurology clinic can be a strategic intervention to enhance neuroplasticity, metabolic function, and recovery in patients with neurological disorders. Here’s a breakdown of the clinical reasoning:

1. The Cerebellum’s Role in Neurological Function

Traditionally associated with motor coordination and balance.

Increasingly recognized for its role in:
• Cognition and attention
• Emotional regulation
• Eye movements and postural control
• Autonomic integration
• Vestibular processing

Damage or dysfunction in the cerebellum can affect all of the above, especially in conditions like concussion, developmental disorders, dysautonomia, and neurodegenerative diseases.

2. Mechanisms of PBM on the Cerebellum

Photobiomodulation (typically using red or near-infrared light in the 660–1100 nm range) can:

Enhance mitochondrial activity (cytochrome c oxidase activation)

Increase ATP production to fuel neural repair and synaptic activity

Reduce oxidative stress and inflammation

Improve local blood flow and oxygenation

Stimulate neurogenesis and synaptogenesis

These effects may be particularly valuable in hypoactive, inflamed, or degenerating cerebellar regions.

3. Clinical Applications in Functional Neurology

PBM to the cerebellum may benefit patients with:

Concussion or mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI)
Cerebellar hypoplasia or ataxia
Balance and coordination deficits
Autonomic dysfunction (via cerebellar-autonomic connections)
Developmental delays (e.g., autism spectrum)
Vestibular dysfunction and oculomotor issues
Cognitive impairments (via cerebello-thalamo-cortical circuits)
