Decoded: The First Year | Episode 31 | The Hidden Foundation Beneath Every Milestone | Dr SCL

from Decoded: The First Year · host drscl

Milestone culture has trained us to look at outcomes.Rolling. Sitting. Crawling. Walking.But almost no one explains what makes those things possible in the first place.And when primitive reflexes do get mentioned?It’s usually in the context of something being “retained” or “wrong.”Which is unfortunate.Because that’s not how the nervous system works.Today, we’re pulling back the curtain on the hidden layer underneath every milestone your baby will ever achieve.Not to make you hyper-aware.Not to give you something else to monitor.But so you can finally understand what’s actually happening beneath the surface.Because when you understand reflexes properly… You stop chasing skills. And you start respecting foundations.And that changes everything.
