Raising a newborn is an incredible journey filled with a whirlwind of new experiences. From the moment they enter our lives, we're catapulted into a world of learning and new information we never knew existed.. From trying to best decode baby cues, to the right

and wrongs of sleep patterns to understanding the intricacies of early brain development we embark on a remarkable adventure of learning and growth alongside our little ones.

Today we are going to be discussing the fascinating topic of ‘Primitive Reflexes’. Have you heard of this before? Well, until now I haven’t either, so even more reason to grab a cuppa and tune in as we welcome our special guest Dr Jane Williams, a Director of GymbaROO and KindyROO.

Dr Jane is one of Australia’s leading child and baby development experts. She has been working with infants, children and parents for over 40 years and her extensive experience includes guiding the Research and Education of GymbaROO-KindyROO for over 20 years. 

We ask Dr Jane questions including:
Can you explain what Primitive reflexes are and why they are important for newborn babies?
How do Primitive reflexes contribute to the development of baby's balance, muscle tone, head control, vision, and hand-foot coordination?
What happens if babies don’t gain full control over their Primitive Reflexes?
Can you elaborate on the connection between retained reflexes and unregulated behaviour, lack of impulse control, poor social skills, and difficulty in learning?
What are some of the signs or symptoms that may indicate a child has retained reflexes?
How does the process of gaining control over Primitive reflexes contribute to brain development?
Are all children born with the same set of Primitive reflexes, or can they vary?
Can you explain the role of developmental movements, such as tummy time, head control, rolling, crawling, and walking, in helping babies control their Primitive reflexes?
What are some potential risks or consequences if babies skip certain developmental movement stages?
Are there specific exercises or activities that parents can do to help their babies gain control over their Primitive reflexes?
How can parents differentiate between normal developmental movements and signs of retained reflexes in their babies?
Are there any factors that may contribute to the persistence of Primitive reflexes beyond the typical time frame?
Are there any long-term implications for individuals who have retained reflexes into childhood or adulthood?
Where can parents find additional resources or information about Primitive reflexes and their impact on child development?
