What are primitive reflexes?
Primitive reflexes are essential for early development, survival and supporting the birthing process. They should be fully developed at birth, and switch off or 'integrate' in the first few months of life. However, often, for a whole host of reasons, these may not integrate as expected. These still active, or 'retained,' primitive reflexes have been shown to be connected to many conditions and difficulties children struggle with today. Children with retained primitive reflexes may display unexpected behaviours, struggle with emotional regulation, have sensory sensitivities or find aspects of learning more challenging. As the reflexes can interfere with many aspects of learning and life, their brains are having to worker harder than they need to to overcome this.
Why should we work on these reflexes?
The INPP Method starts with the earliest reflex and works on the natural order these would develop and integrate in early childhood. Working on integrating these reflexes, gives a second chance to build the neural pathways to access higher centres in the brain and removes the 'hur
dle' of the reflex. The child's system is more adept to processing inputs from the world around them, or has more 'space' for learning new skills as they're no longer having to compensate for the reflexes. Beginning with the reflexes supports in building the vital strong foundations for learning and life.
