Being able to cross the midline is important, because it creates connections between both hemispheres of the brain.

Comment “CROSS” for all the retained Primitive Reflexes preventing kids from crossing the midline of the body…

Crossing the midline of the body is important because of how it creates connections between the right and left hemispheres of the brain for higher learning.

Kids who struggle to cross the midline of the body often have one or more retained Primitive Reflexes holding them back.

When kids can’t cross the midline, you may see them having trouble with:

🫣Tracking words across the page (left to right)
🫣Writing words across the page or issues with letter directionality
🫣Attention and focus and can’t complete tasks or follow directions
🫣Is often clumsy and and can be emotional

To learn more about the retained reflexes impacting your child’s ability to cross the midline, comment “CROSS” and we’ll send you the link.
