The sensory struggles you may be seeing in a child if…

…a child one or more retained Primitive Reflexes.

Retained reflexes can disrupt the entire sensory system, which can disrupt the child’s ability to function on a daily basis. You may not realize a reflex is retained, but you will notice behaviors that seem confusing or inconsistent.

Some of the sensory disruptions you may see include the following:
🤯 Overreacting to sounds, lights, touch, or movement
🤯 Constant fidgeting or inability to sit still
🤯 Difficulty with body awareness (seems clumsy or crashes into things)
🤯 Fight-or-flight responses to everyday situations

…and several other signs. When primitive reflexes remain active, the nervous system can stay in a stressed, protective state making it much harder for a child to feel calm, safe, and ready to learn.

To learn more about sensory disruptions and even more signs caused by retained reflexes, leave a comment below and we’ll send you the link.

When something goes wrong in a relationship, there are two places the work lives:

Self work + relationship work.
