S1 Episode 5: The Critical Power and Impact of Primitive Reflexes on a Child's Development - Lucia speaks with Dr Josh Madsen

Welcome to "My Mighty Quinn", the show where we explore the fascinating world of child development with leading experts. I'm Lucia Silver, your host and today we have the pleasure of speaking again with Dr. Josh Madsen, a renowned expert in paediatric development.
In this insightful and final episode of this introductory series, Dr. Josh and I delve into the crucial topic of primitive reflexes and their impact on a child's development. We explore how these foundational neurological responses can influence behaviour, learning, and overall development well-being.
We discuss some valuable strategies for parents to support their child's growth and unlock their full potential through addressing the primitive reflexes at home.
Key Takeaways for Parents:

  1. Understanding Reflexes: Primitive reflexes are foundational neurological responses that shape a child's early development. Recognising and addressing these reflexes can lead to significant improvements in behaviour, learning, and overall well-being.
  2. Impact on Behaviour and Learning: Reflexes can have a profound influence on a child's behaviour, including impulse control, emotional regulation, and learning abilities. By targeting the inhibition of these reflexes, parents can create a supportive environment for their child's growth.
  3. Holistic Approach to Development: The importance of a holistic approach, considering factors such as nutrition, quality of sleep, and screen time. These elements play a crucial role in optimising a child's healthy neurological development.
  4. Patience and Persistence: Progress in addressing primitive reflexes is not immediate. Patience, consistent implementation and a nurturing environment are key to fostering positive changes in a child's well-being and abilities.
  5. Empowerment through Knowledge: Equipping yourself with understanding and strategies for primitive reflex inhibition empowers you as a parent to actively contribute to your child's development journey.

We hope you found the discussions on child development informative and inspiring. If you know other parents who could benefit from this series, please consider sharing it with them. Your support helps us reach more families with this important science.
