⚙️ Mindmap: The Spinal Galant Reflex

💡 Why this reflex is important for birth, bladder control, and the ability to stay calm

The Spinal Galant Reflex is one of the most fascinating infantile reflexes. It plays an important role even before birth – and can later have significant effects on behavior, sleep, and body control.
If this reflex remains active beyond 9 months of age, it can lead to hyperactivity, inner restlessness, bedwetting, or problems with sitting still.

This mindmap clearly and concisely shows what the reflex does, why its integration is so important, and how parents and educators can recognize warning signs.
