Patty Cake for ATNR Reflex Integration! 🎉👐 The ATNR reflex is super helpful for babies learning to crawl, but if it sticks around too long, it might muddle up coordination and attention in older kids. Why Patty Cake? Patty Cake is a fun game to play if your kid has retained the ATNR reflex. It encourages them to cross the midline of their body, boosting brain communication and coordination as well as engaging the cerebellum 👫 Ready, Set, Patty-Cake! Grab a partner and get those hands clapping
