Primitive reflexes are involuntary movements that help infants move from motor activity to controlled, purposeful movements.
Primitive Reflexes control infant movements and are crucial for a child’s development of sensory, motor, and cognitive skills as the child grows older.
Primitive reflexes include: Moro, ATNR, STNR, Landau, Palmar, Rooting, Spinal Galant, TLR
Here are some tips to aid in the integration reflexes in your child:
- Tummy time
- Exploring their surrounding during the “creeping and crawling” stage
- Bilateral movements
- Balancing
- Obstacle courses
- Yoga poses
- Ball games
