Does your child constantly jump off furniture or crash into walls? These are common signs of sensory-seeking behavior, which may point to underdeveloped brain functions. Discover how In the Cortex helps integrate primitive reflexes and supports healthy brain development for lasting solutions.
What is Sensory Seeking Behavior?
Sensory-seeking behavior happens when kids actively seek intense sensory experiences. These behaviors—jumping, crashing into things, or roughhousing—are ways children “wake up” their brains. Often, their nervous systems crave stimulation they aren’t getting from their environment.
Examples of sensory-seeking behavior include:
- Jumping off furniture or playground equipment: Your child may climb and leap, seeking the physical impact for stimulation.
- Running into things or people: Crashing provides the deep pressure their bodies crave.
- Overly hard high-fives or roughhousing: These actions give kids the intense feedback their nervous systems are seeking.
How the Brain Causes Sensory Seeking Behavior
Sensory-seeking behaviors stem from brain development issues related to primitive reflexes. These reflexes, present in infancy, should naturally disappear as a child grows. When they don’t, the brain struggles with sensory input. This underdevelopment causes children to seek intense sensory feedback.
These children aren’t avoiding pain—they simply aren’t receiving proper signals to their brains, leading them to engage in seemingly risky behaviors.
How In the Cortex Provides a solution
Parents dealing with sensory-seeking children often feel stuck managing symptoms. That’s where In the Cortex comes in, offering a solution that targets the root cause.
In the Cortex’s brain reorganization program helps children integrate unintegrated primitive reflexes, building a fully developed nervous system. Through personalized exercises, kids achieve better sensory balance and process stimuli more effectively.
Why In the Cortex is a good choice for Sensory-Seeking Children
Here’s why parents choose In the Cortex:
