Gaynor Ralls – What are primitive reflexes and why do we need to know about them?

Children will always do their best to do what we ask of them. They can only respond to our expectations of them, if they have the neurological resources in their nervous systems, to do so. Why do some children cope with those demands, while others do not? What exactly puts those neurological resources into place in the brain, in the first place? Welcome to the world of primitive reflexes (also known as primary or neo-natal reflexes).

Gaynor Ralls will take you on a journey, explaining to you as simply as possible, how the building blocks for our children’s bodies and their brains are primitive reflexes. It is essential we know this, learn to recognise their role and ensure we nurture the optimal development through our educational provision and protecting our children’s need to learn through play.
