@ontheballpediatrics: 🌀 Finger Twister for Brain + Body Growth! 🌀 Did you know your child’s primitive reflexes lay the foundation for future motor and learning skills? One important one is the Palmar Reflex. 👉 The palmar reflex is the automatic grasp newborns show when something touches their palm. It’s normal in infancy, but if it sticks around beyond early development, it can get in the way. ✨ If the palmar reflex is retained, you might notice: • Difficulty with handwriting, cutting, or other fine motor tasks ✏️ • Trouble with self-feeding or using utensils 🍴 • A tight or awkward pencil grasp • Fatigue and frustration during schoolwork • Challenges with hand-eye coordination 🎯 That’s where we come in! At OTB, we assess reflex integration and guide your child through fun, targeted activities (like finger twister!) to help their brain and body work together more smoothly. 💡 Supporting reflex integration can unlock better coordination, focus, and confidence for your child. 📩 Ready to learn more? Contact us today to book an assessment and see how we can support your child’s growth and success! 📲 (613)-831-2377 for Kanata, (613)-898-8595 for Orleans 📧 [email protected] or [email protected] 🌐 ontheball.ca #reflex #primitivereflexes #palmar #occupationaltherapy #physiotherapy #finemotor #finemotoractivity #reflexintegration #handstrength #pediatrictherapy #pediatric #ottawa
