@brightmindsneuro: This might look unusual, but.... —but in reality, it’s a powerful way to assess and rewire the brain for kids struggling with ADHD, autism, sensory issues, and motor delays! What’s happening when we stroke the foot with a pen? 1.🧠 We’re testing for a retained Babinski Reflex. The Babinski reflex is a primitive reflex that babies are born with to help them move and protect themselves. By the time a child starts walking, this reflex should disappear. If it’s still present, it can cause poor balance, clumsiness, toe-walking, trouble with coordination, and even emotional dysregulation. HOW TO CHECK: Lightly stroke the sole of the foot from heel to toes. If the toes fan out instead of curling down, the reflex is still active! 2.🦶 It stimulates the nervous system & brain-body connection. The soles of the feet contain thousands of sensory receptors that send signals to the brain. When we gently stimulate them, we’re helping the brain recognize and process sensory input more effectively. This is especially important for kids who struggle with sensory overload, poor coordination, or hypersensitivity to touch. 3.⚖️ It helps with balance, posture, and coordination. The feet play a HUGE role in how the body stays balanced and moves through space. If the Babinski reflex is retained, the brain has to work harder just to keep the body upright, leading to fidgeting, restlessness, and difficulty focusing. Stimulating the feet helps train the brain to organize movement and improve motor control naturally! 🔑 Primitive reflex integration is KEY to unlocking better focus, calmer behavior, and stronger coordination. 💡 Want to learn how to test for and integrate primitive reflexes at home to support ADHD, autism, dyslexia, and more? 🔥DM me the word “INFO” to grab our FREE Primitive Reflex Guide with exercises to Naturally overcome ADHD, Autism, dyslexia, Anxiety, and so much more, from HOME! #ADHDHelp #AutismSupport #SensoryProcessing #BrainTraining #FocusNaturally #PrimitiveReflexes #ChildDevelopment #HolisticHealing #Neuroplasticity
