🧠 Tuesday Tip – Primitive Reflexes
Did you know that some reflexes we’re born with as babies can still affect us later in life? These are called primitive reflexes — automatic movements that help infants develop, but they should fade as the brain matures.
When they don’t fully integrate, they can show up as challenges with:
Balance and coordination
Focus and attention
Learning and behavior
Emotional regulation
👀 What to look out for: If you or your child struggles with clumsiness, poor posture, reading difficulties, or even heightened anxiety, unintegrated primitive reflexes may be part of the picture.
The good news? With the right therapies, these reflexes can often be integrated — helping the brain and body work together more efficiently.
