Movement Programmes

INtegrating primitive reflexes

Learn how to incorporate specific movements at school and home to reduce stress and enhance learning, focus, and memory.

Differentiate yourself as a parent or teacher by using unique methods to help children develop self-control for optimal performance.

Explore ways to integrate these movements into daily life and understand the basic reflexes that impact your child’s academic success, behaviour, and self-awareness.

Testimonials

I’ve noticed a positive change in my son since he began the programme. His leg strength has improved, and he can balance much better now. He’s even started to enjoy playing soccer! He loves the movements and feels motivated by his own progress. - Thuli

Since beginning the movement programme, we have seen quite a few positive changes in our 7-year-old. There have been improvements in his memory, focus, confidence to name and few. The programme itself is easy to conduct in a home environment and does not require much time or effort.- Natisha

Two months in and we have seen an improvement in my son's anxiety & school marks. First time in years I have some peace of mind. - Jackie

School can be tough when we want to move & play but have to stay seated.

We can help you incorporate specific moves into your child's life to enhance their learning, behaviour, and happiness.

Imagine helping your child activate their brain each morning to enhance focus and memory.

Equip them with tools to wake up their mind before exams, stay calm under stress, and minimize the impact of primitive reflexes on learning.

Movement is vital for brain development, energizing mental skills and integrating primitive reflexes. Unresolved reflexes can signal an immature nervous system, affecting academic performance, behavior, and emotional intelligence.

BENEFITS TO MOVEMENT PROGRAMS

Movements foster a relaxed learning environment for teachers and students, enhancing reading, writing, spelling, & maths skills while promoting communication & self-discipline.
Many of these activities take under five minutes, require minimal space, & need no special tools.
Their effects are immediate, lasting, & easily observable,
These strategies can be adapted for any educational area and curriculum.

Mindful Moves provides home programs to integrate primitive reflexes, as their persistence can hinder growth and lead to predominantly slow brain wave activity.
Home sessions are an affordable way to help your child. By integrating primitive reflexes, you can improve the results of any other therapies and treatments your child is receiving.
Home programs are user-friendly and effective, fostering a strong bond between parent and child while promoting involvement in development.

Integrating primitive reflexes by implementing movement programmes into your child’s routine can close developmental gaps and enhance their basic skills for better performance.
Primitive reflex integration reduces anxiety, improves sleep, enhances auditory and visual skills, alleviates sensory issues, boosts focus, and fosters a happier child. It also enhances cognitive ability, promoting better learning and memory retention through neuroplasticity.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are primitive reflexes?

Primitive reflexes are involuntary actions managed by the brain stem, essential for survival and aiding in birth and infant development. As the brain matures and the body strengthens, these reflexes integrate, allowing for voluntary movements. Persistent reflexes may indicate incomplete nervous system development, potentially impacting brain growth.

What difficulties can result from primitive reflexes?

Primitive reflexes can lead to challenges in physical, emotional, and cognitive development, including sleep issues, bedwetting after age five, focus difficulties, awkward pencil grips, letter reversals, spatial awareness problems, and auditory and visual processing issues. They may also impact language and speech development, as well as cause difficulties with spelling, math, and low muscle tone.

How do primitive reflexes affect brainwaves?

rimitive reflexes integrate, forming the brain’s foundation and enabling its development in a specific sequence and timeframe. Research links the presence of these reflexes to slower brain waves in children with learning challenges. The brain stem, which governs these reflexes, generates slower waves, while the thalamus produces medium waves, indicating brain maturation.

What is Kinesiology?

Kinesiology studies muscle movement to inform targeted exercises that prepare individuals for activities. A movement facilitator who closely observes body language can better identify the client’s specific movement needs.
