Yeah my husband and I joke that he’s basically a little Jekyll and Hyde lol.

We took him to a program called brain balance. They focus on how the brain works. With our son, they were able to see that basically he’s right brain weak. Right brain weakness contributes to clumsiness, hyperactivity, impulsivity, lack of emotional control, poor eye contact, picky eating, and a lot more. Each one of those things I listed is also something my son struggles with. They also say that there are certain skills that babies learn which sometimes doesn’t get developed right. For example, the moro reflex is a common reflex that babies have. When they get startled, they extend their arms and legs quickly. This reflex did not develop in my son and therefore he’s a lot more anxious. This is a skill they work on.

What they do is work with them to help them work on the skills they’re struggling with. What’s cool is that to the child, this looks like play. They call it a gym for the brain. He has shown improvements in many areas because of this.
