Free printable from a pediatric OT
Does your child startle, panic, or melt down over “nothing”?
Some kids react to a dropped spoon or a sudden touch like it's an emergency. Others can't stop moving. Sometimes both. One pattern pediatric OTs look at is the Moro reflex, the body's earliest startle alarm. Our free checklist helps you notice what's happening at home, in plain language.
Inside the 4-page checklist:
- Everyday signs parents notice, from big startles to bedtime and transitions
- How to read your checks, and when it's worth a conversation
- A simple activity you can try at home
- How to talk it through with an OT on a free 15-minute video call
You'll get the download right away, plus a few short emails from our OT team. Unsubscribe anytime.
