extreme responses. Far from being just down to ‘personality’, some traits often point to Retained Reflex Syndrome (RRS) and potential future problems in a child’s development. Children may be bright, yet underachieving and lacking in


concentration. Tey may find reading and writing tricky, have trouble putting ideas down on paper and not enjoy reading for pleasure. Tey may suffer from low self-esteem, frustration and be emotionally and socially immature. Establishing friendships may be difficult. Other behaviour patterns to watch for include: excessive talking, a short- temper, hearing problems (selective hearing), hypersensitivity (problems with labels/haircuts) and clumsiness. Does any of this sound familiar? RRS may be the root cause. Before birth, babies develop primitive reflexes to help them survive


the birthing process and the first months of life. Usually these will fade away as a baby develops and grows up.

Te revolutionary techniques he has developed over the last 17 years have transformed the lives, not only of the children he has treated, but also of the parents who have seen their children grow into well-balanced, happy young adults.
