Could retained infant primitive reflexes be silently impacting your child's academic performance?

Primitive reflexes are automatic movements babies are born with that normally fade as the brain develops. This study of 53 kindergarten and first grade children found that 100% of them had at least one retained (un-faded) primitive reflex, and that having these retained reflexes was linked to lower scores in reading, writing, math, and spelling. The findings suggest that retained primitive reflexes could be a hidden factor affecting children's school performance, and that occupational therapists should consider screening for them as part of supporting children's learning and development.

If your child struggles to sit still, focus, or coordinate their movements—it might not be about attention at all.

Before learning can happen, the brain needs a clear sense of where the body is in space. That starts with posture and balance.
When a child’s core and balance systems aren’t fully developed, their brain is working overtime just to keep them upright. That means less energy for things like listening, communicating, or learning new skills.

Movement is how the brain builds these foundations.
Simple activities like:
✨ Crawling and climbing
✨ Jumping
✨ Swinging or balancing
✨ Pushing, pulling, carrying and resistance exercises
…all help your child develop body awareness (proprioception) and strengthen their balance (vestibular system).

And here’s the key:
Movement isn’t a break from learning—it’s where learning begins.
So if your child needs to move, follow their lead. You’re not “distracting” them—you’re helping their brain grow .

I look forward to seeing you there!
