One of the things you will realize as you listen to our latest podcast is this: All children learn differently, but some children learn with greater difficulty, so customizing learning strategies is key to their success.
As parents, seeing our child struggle to learn is heartbreaking to watch. However, all we can really do is find the best strategies we can to ensure our kids have the very best chance at being successful in overcoming their own unique challenges.
In this interview with Dr. Emily Levy, you will gain insights into what a learning difference is and how to assess if your child has a learning challenge. Dr. Levy also shares the early signs of learning challenges and how to evaluate them to determine the kind of customized learning your child needs. In particular, when you join us for this episode you will learn about what a multisensory approach to learning is and how it can help a child with learning challenges.

A quick Google search on the term ‘brain lateralization’ defines it as “the functional specialization of the brain whereas a bodily function, such as language or movement, occurs in the left side of the brain and perception of visual and spatial relationships, occurs primarily in the right side”. There is so much more to brain lateralization than that simplified explanation which is why this week’s episode of the podcast with Dr. Peter Scire is all about Unlocking the Mystery of Brain Lateralization.
In this episode, Dr. Scire and I started a conversation about the role of brain lateralization and the importance of understanding the maturation process of the brain so that we can identify where and why the development may go off course. This topic is one that requires more time and attention so not only will you get to today’s episode but we continue the conversation in Part Two in a couple of weeks so be sure to subscribe to the podcast so you don’t miss it!
If you are ready to even further unlock the mystery of brain lateralization and understand its crucial role in neurodevelopmental, Dr. Scire and I are going to host a Knowledge Vault™ Expert Masterclass on Tuesday, March 28th, 2023 at 12 pm ET/9 am PST to do a deep dive on this topic.
Join us for this free event where we will dive even deeper into the subject and help you discover new insights that will transform your understanding of brain lateralization and its influences on your child. During this Masterclass, Unlocking the Mystery of Brain Lateralization: Understanding its Role in Neurodevelopment, you will learn valuable information about this crucial part of neurodevelopment and how it can be applied to your child.
-
- Discover the key factors that impact the development of the brain in the critical first 36-48 months of life, which side of the brain develops first and why this sequencing is vital.
- Obtain practical insights into the basic anatomy of the brain and how you can use this knowledge to better understand the symptoms your child experiences.
- Gain an understanding of the critical role of sensory inputs such as sound, light, olfactory, vestibular, and proprioceptive inputs on brain development.
- Learn how to identify the symptoms and the impact of functional disconnection syndrome.
- Gather valuable insights on how brain lateralization impacts development and behaviour.
- Explore the research and findings related to brain lateralization and natural brain development
- And much more…

If you’ve been around My Child Will Thrive for awhile now, you know that I’m passionate about finding ways to help our children heal and introducing you to methods and products that you may not have heard of before. One product that I love and have used with my family for years is the Rezzimax Tuner and I was able to interview the Founder and CEO of Rezzimax, Sharik Peck.
Sharik takes us through the journey of Rezzimax including how he invented the product and what led him to do so. We talk about all the ways that the tuner can help with nervous system dysregulation in our kids (and as adults) and how the Rezzimax uses vibration to bring our nervous systems back online. He also shares a few wonderful stories on how this product has helped so many families.
If you’re interested in getting a Rezzimax Tuner Pro 2 for yourself, Sharik was so generous to offer the My Child Will Thrive community a 20{4537a52abafa24f75931b694e3f6d1d9b0beb5896e18e49b3141987b78b41d96} discount either by using this link or using the code “thrive20” at checkout.

Happy Tuesday and welcome back to another Toolkit Tuesday episode! Today I’m taking you through the Primitive Reflexes Cheat Sheet and also talking about the upcoming Expert Masterclass I have with Dr. Scire. But before we get started, here’s a bit more information about the My Child Will Thrive Toolkit.
The Toolkit includes:
- Researched and field tested guides, tracking tools, checklists and cheat sheets allow you to get to the root of what is causing your child's challenges. so that you don't waste time creating them yourself.
- Videos to walk you through some of the more challenging topics you will need to learn to help identify what your child needs.
- Using The My Child Will Thrive Tool Kit gives you a head start so you can focus on what is most important – your child!
In this Toolkit Tuesday episode, I’m taking you through the Primitive Reflexes Cheat Sheet which is a helpful guide to all things primitive reflexes so you can better understand them for your child. You can access that here.
I also mention our upcoming Expert Masterclass with Dr. Scire which will dive into some of the CDC’s changes to primitive reflexes. The free masterclass, Milestones Matter: How Developmental Milestones from Birth to 3 Years Old Influence Brain Development and What You Can Do When a Milestone is Missed, Skipped or Delayed will include:
- What are the developmental milestones and how they provide insight into understanding what treatments and therapies are right for your child.
- How missed, skipped or delayed developmental milestones impact the neurodevelopment of the two hemispheres of your child’s brain and how this explains their symptoms.
- What tools are commonly used to assess your child’s neurodevelopment and how they translate into what your next steps are to help your child.
- Why functional medicine and nutritional interventions on their own will often lead to temporary improvements and how combining them with neurorehab is essential for long-term success.
Please sign up for this Masterclass with Dr. Scire on September 21 here.
I recommend watching the video on YouTube (see below on this page) to see the tool as I walk you through it. I hope you enjoy this episode!

The CDC came out with changes to the developmental milestones for children in early February 2022 and I know a lot of parents and practitioners (including myself) have been surprised by some of these changes. That’s why I wanted to bring on my go-to expert, Dr. Peter Scire on to the podcast to walk us through these latest developments. Dr. Scire is someone I personally trust and have worked with regarding my own child’s health.
In today’s podcast, we go through some of those changes including the changes to crawling, walking and speech. Dr. Scire takes us through why these changes are concerning and explains why developmental milestones are so important and can affect getting an early diagnosis.
Because this is such a big topic and we couldn’t go as in-depth during the episode, Dr. Scire and I will be hosting an Expert Masterclass on September 21, 2022 at 12pm EST/9am PST.
