In this episode, I sit down with developmental specialist and educator Rhea Brashear to discuss why movement is the foundation of brain development. We explore the importance of crawling, primitive reflexes, muscle tone, and developmental milestones, and how these early experiences influence learning, attention, confidence, and independence. Rhea shares insights from decades of experience helping children and adults build stronger developmental foundations and explains why early intervention can make a lasting difference.
