Retained primitive reflexes- may be a sign of developmental dalay or neurological immaturity in the child. The primitive reflexes form the base of a child's motor development. At first the baby's movements are involuntary, such as sucking, gripping, and extending the arm on the same side as head rotation. Later, the movements become voluntary and more complex. The next step is the postural reflexes that give rise to skills such as sitting, crawling and standing. A delay in the integration of the primitive reflexes may delay more complex motor development and cause a delay. The primitive reflexes should be integrated by 4-6 months. Is your child showing motor delay? Have the reflexes checked!
"Are we there yet?" Kids are impatient because NOW is all they know. With little experience and immature memory processing, young kids have no real concept of the past. Without understanding the past, they cannot understand the concept of future. For young children, time isn't real because they cannot see it, hear it, smell it, taste it, or touch it. #kids #childdevelopment #laringogutvikling #conceptoftime #senses #learning
