In this Truth Bomb episode, I’m sharing crucial insights about how the back-to-school transition affects your child’s developing nervous system.
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.
