Because Doing Them Correctly is so Important!
The first time I sat down with Lyla’s teacher and got a good report, I knew something great was happening. She said ‘Something has changed in Lyla. It is almost like a light has switched on in her.’ She then went on to tell me the positive changes she had noticed in her school, behavior and with her interactions with her classmates. Good reports? I heart that.
Until then, I felt like I was taking a leap of faith. I had read many accounts of how much they had helped other children. But, I wasn’t sure if I was dong them right. I’m a busy person and didn’t want to waste time if I was doing them wrong. Do they really work? Was I doing them enough? Was I doing them correctly? Turned out ‘yes’ to all three.
Why is it so Important?
In a previous post, I talked about consistency. Well, accuracy is every bit as important. Each exercise is designed to develop and control a certain group of muscles. Each specific group of muscles suppresses a different Primitive Reflex. We call this “eliminating the trouble makers”, because if the reflexes continue to fire, it interferes with higher development. If the wrong muscles are being used, it will be of little or no affect. Why spend days doing something the wrong way?

Our Mini-Course
Because accuracy is so important, we created a video Mini Course on Primitive Reflex Exercises. It teaches about the symptoms, importance and benefit of all eight exercises with instructions and a video example of each one.
