INHIBIT YOUR CHILD'S DEVELOPMENT
KEY POINTS:
Parents will be trained how to properly stimulate the primitive reflexes to develop their child's lower parts
of the nervous system, such as the brainstem in which the unintegrated reflexes are housed.
You will learn how to help your child in the following areas:
What are primitive reflexes?
At the most basic level, primitive reflexes are automatic, involuntary movements that develop in the womb, and help infants through the birthing process. The baby’s movement down the birth canal is aided by primitive reflexes! After birth, primitive reflexes are both for protection and survival, as well as the building blocks for more mature motor and sensory functions through the first year of life.
If you’ve seen a baby curl their fingers around your finger as a newborn, you’ve seen the palmer grasp reflex.
If you’ve stroked your newborns face and they’ve turned their head in that direction, you’ve seen the rooting reflex
Primitive reflexes typically disappear as a child matures, most of them gone by 12 months. This makes way for more refined motor skills needed for more mature things like ….learning how to crawl, walk, feed themselves, and, yes, TALK and COMMUNICATE.
What if a child has active primitive reflexes after 12 months?
When a child has persistently active primitive reflexes, it can interfere with the development of sensory and motor systems needed for speech, language, communication and feeding development - things like oral motor skills, postural strength, sensory processing, focus and attention, even social interaction are all impacted by persistent primitive reflexes
If you have a child with delays in speech, language, communication and/or feeding delays, targeting primitive reflexes is an important key for reaching your child’s maximum potential.
If this resonates with you for your own child, get registered in the home program in reflex integration!
THE SIGNS OF RETENTION OF PRIMITIVE REFLEXES IN YOUR CHILD
- Parents / caregivers get online supervision in carrying out their home program by an experienced reflex therapist, the Melillo Method TM certified provider and a childhood neurodevelopmental specialist who is also trained in the Rhythmic Movement Training and Reflex Integration (RMTI) method. Please check out my credentials.
- Your child's progress will be monitored every 4 weeks
- Home program will include a set of easy passive, active, isometric pressure movements, neurological movements and exercises in co-activation.
- Educational videos of neurological movements will be provided, as the step-by-step protocols with a few levels of difficulty.
Parents will be trained how to properly stimulate the primitive reflexes to develop their child's lower parts
of the nervous system, such as the brainstem in which the unintegrated reflexes are housed.
You will learn how to help your child in the following areas:
- Focus
- Organisation
- Comprehension
- Emotions
- Memory
- Behaviour
- Reading & Writing
- Facing the Fear
- You will learn how to do co-activation with the use of some tools which are inexpensive but helpful.
