School should be an environment of enjoyment, learning and growth! It is where we make friends, play, develop and hone the skills that we will need in adulthood.
However if your child’s primitive reflexes are still active, rather than school being a happy place; it can turn into a negative and stressful environment.
It can be difficult to sit still and concentrate, retaining information is tough, keeping coordination during sports is difficult and socialising and making new friends is a chore. This is a reality for many children; yet it needn’t be!
Primitive reflexes are movement patterns that we need during our infancy in order to develop. They teach our body the patterns that are needed for us to move in an easy, coordinated way.
As we grow, they should switch off (integrate) or develop into adult reflexes. However, if they stay active, then the brain is unable to mature as expected, leading to the difficulties such as the ones detailed above.
RMTi movements work with the body to switch off the primitive reflexes that are still active, enabling brain connections to strengthen and mature so that your child can start thriving, rather than just surviving!
