169. Back to School Transitions: Is Your Child's Nervous System Ready?
Manage episode 507149277 series 3357057
As kids head back to the classroom after shorter-than-ideal summer breaks, their bodies may be showing signs of stress through an unintegrated Moro reflex - the primitive startle response that should disappear by 4 months old.
Watch for these red flags:
Sleep disruptions or excessive sleeping
Difficulty focusing on homework
"Deer in headlights" moments
Changes in eating habits
Fight-or-flight responses to everyday situations
I'll teach you how to support your child by creating device-free evenings, family dinners, and proper rest routines.
