In normal development, this is resolved in toddlerhood, as you know. However, in a certain number of people, bedwetting may continue if the Spinal Galant primitive reflex has not been integrated. This is a stage of development during toddlerhood that relates to spending floor time on the back, but even some children who spend enough time, still do not get completely through this stage. In order to decide if the retained primitive reflex is the problem, look at the list below, and if you see 3 or more symptoms, likely this is the issue.
Group #3 – Snow Angel
Fidgeting
Bedwetting
Poor concentration or attention
Poor memory
Very sensitive to several senses (visual, hearing, touch, smell, taste)
Difficulty reading
If you see several symptoms, don't despair! Your son simply needs to do some simple exercises daily for about a month to inhibit the reflex. For more information, please read about the primitive reflexes and neurodevelopment on my web site: www.pyramidofpotential.com.
Good luck!!!
