BRAIN & BODY HEALTH on Instagram: "– PRIMITIVE REFLEX: ATNR –  As we develop our brains become more complicated and more capable of performing the tasks that the primitive reflexes were doing for us. Ideally, as our brain learns how to do the task the primitive reflex was assisting in the reflex should ‘’switch off’’.  Some Children, for a number of reasons, don’t fully turn off the primitive reflex. Imagine 2 people trying to drive the same car, chaotic and inefficient.  The ATNR reflex occurs when a baby’s head is turned to the side and causes the arm and leg on that side to straighten while the opposite arm and leg bend. Signs of reflex retention include; balance issues, poor eye tracking, head tilt when writing, poor hand eye coordination, poor attention. Typically this reflex is norma Integrating Primitive Reflexes, Primitive Reflexes Integration Exercises, Babinski Reflex Integration, Reflex Integration Activities For Kids, Primitive Reflex Integration Exercises, Atnr Reflex Integration Activities, Moro Reflex Integration Exercises, Primitive Reflexes, Occupational Therapy Kids

BRAIN & BODY HEALTH on Instagram: "🏃‍♂️🧠 Is the ATNR Reflex Affecting Your Child’s Focus and Coordination?   Noticing your child struggling with focus in school or appearing uncoordinated while running? It’s time to explore the ATNR (Asymmetric Tonic Neck Reflex) and its impact.  🔍 What Is the ATNR Reflex?  A primitive reflex where turning the head causes arm and leg extension on the face side and flexion. It aids in the birthing process and should be integrated as the child grows.  🧐 Easy Test for ATNR:  All Fours Position: Have your child on hands and knees. Gentle Head Turn: Guide their head side to side, keeping it level. Elbow Check: Look for any buckling in the elbows.  🚦 Active Reflex? Try Lizard Crawls:  Start on the Tummy: Get them lying flat.

Harkla on Instagram: "The Tonic Labyrinthine Reflex (TLR) is one of many primitive reflexes. . It is designed to help with muscle tone and gravity. . The two movement patterns of the TLR are: 1️⃣ Forward / flexion - when the eyes travel down and the person looks down 2️⃣ Backwards / extension - when the eyes travel up and the person looks up  . The TLR should integrate into the body to make way for higher level movement patterns by no later than 3 years of age. . Some signs that an older child might have a retained TLR: ⭐ Low muscle tone and poor endurance ⭐ Visual perception challenges ⭐ Poor sense of spatial relations ⭐ Signs of dyslexia ⭐ Decreased bilateral coordination . Try this activity with your child! It may be tricky at first, but practice it and make sure you try it yourself! .

BRAIN & BODY HEALTH on Instagram: "🔍 Noticing your child often sits in a ‘W’ position? This posture can lead to hip internal rotation and pigeon-toed walking. More importantly, it hints at core control issues that may cause back pain in adulthood.  👉 Why W-Sitting Matters W-sitting is tied to the Symmetric Tonic Neck Reflex (STNR), affecting focus and posture.  🧪 Quick STNR Reflex Test Quadruped Position: Have your child on all fours. Head Movement: Guide their head up and down. Elbow Watch: Check if elbows buckle, indicating an active STNR reflex.  💪 Effective Exercise Head-butt Rolls  Encourage your kid to crawl and push a ball with their head. This playful activity helps integrate the STNR reflex and improves core stability.  🚸 Long-Term Benefits: Regular practice can enhance postu Primitive Reflexes Integration Exercises, Stnr Reflex Integration Activities, Atnr Reflex Integration Activities, Bad Posture Exercises, Pigeon Toed, Reflex Integration, School Based Therapy, Primitive Reflexes, Brain System
