Powerful! Reflexes Shape Your Life

📖 The Scoop

Insufficiently integrated infant reflex patterns are often still active in school children and even in adults. This condition can considerably reduce their learning processes and well-being and can thus seriously infringe upon the quality of their lives. The author’s intention is to raise awareness for the concept that certain motor reactions might be attributable to particular reflex patterns. In case of intervention later on in life, different symptoms related to persisting infant reflex patterns can then be associated more readily. Even if a more detailed analysis of motor patterns can be acquired with this book, the author emphasizes that the overall picture should never be neglected. Behaviour patterns are obviously also influenced by education and the environment, however not integrated infant reflexes and the different behaviour patterns related to them often cause a wide range of responses in educators. Natural primary movement patterns, i.e. reflex patterns, are the basis for infant, child and adult behaviour. A human being can develop her/his movements, emotions, thoughts and actions on this basis, so that s/he can lead her/his life in the most self-reliant way. Reflexes and their time-appropriate integration build the foundation for life. This book is addressed to all parents, paediatricians, therapists and all other interested people who support and accompany the development of our children. In a chronological list of reflexes the different movements are described in detail. A drawing for each reflex is included to facilitate recognition. It is important to know that the movements that can trigger reflex reactions should not be activated in a child, for this could harm the child’s development and healthy maturation.The exercise introduced in this book can help reduce persisting infant reflex action.
