The Tonic Labyrinthine Reflex (TLR) is one of many primitive reflexes. • . • It is designed to help with muscle tone and gravity. • . • The two movement patterns of the TLR are: • 1️⃣ Forward / flexion - when the eyes travel down and the person looks down • 2️⃣ Backwards / extension - when the eyes travel up and the person looks up • . • The TLR should integrate into the body to make way for higher level movement patterns by no later than 3 years of age. • . • Some signs that an older child might have a retained TLR: • ⭐ Low muscle tone and poor endurance • ⭐ Visual perception challenges • ⭐ Poor sense of spatial relations • ⭐ Signs of dyslexia • ⭐ Decreased bilateral coordination • . • Try this activity with your child! • It may be tricky at first, but practice it and make sure you try it yourself! • . • Start with just a couple of reps to practice and then work your way up to completing more reps with good control. • . • You can place targets on the wall to help your child visually follow the ball in their hands to tap the target. • . • Also, be sure to complete a heavy work activity afterwards, because the head position changes of this activity may be alerting or overstimulating! • . • Do you want to learn more about primitive reflexes? • . • We have a free webinar (along with our free YouTube channel) that will give you a basic understanding of primitive reflexes and how to get started if you think your child might have retained primitive reflexes! • . • https://harkla.co/pages/register-prim...
