What Are Primitive Reflexes?:
These are involuntary motor responses that appear at birth, originating from the brain stem and spinal cord.
They help infants survive and start developing motor coordination.
Integration of Reflexes:

This input informs the brain about where the body is in space and how to move through it.

The Journey of Brain Development 🌱

Bottom-Up Pattern:



Brain development starts at the brain stem and moves up to the midbrain, and finally to the cortex.

Think of it like building a house: you need a strong foundation before adding the walls and roof.

Fuel for Growth:



This growth is fueled by:

Sensory Input: What your child sees, hears, touches, tastes, and smells.

Movement: Physical activities that help the brain connect with the body.

Connection with Caregivers: Emotional bonds and interactions that enrich development.

The Importance of Quality Input 🏆

Processing Information:

It’s not just about having experiences; it’s crucial that your child can process these experiences effectively.

High-quality sensory input helps the brain develop stronger connections.
