169. Back to School Transitions: Is Your Child's Nervous System Ready?


Listen Later

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.
