In Episode 364 of The Prime Podcast, Dr. Skip Wyss and Dr. Julie Wyss break down the truth about childhood development and why the “wait and see” approach is failing families. Using current guidelines from the CDC, we expose major gaps in developmental standards—specifically the removal of one of the most critical stages: crawling.
Development is not random. It is a neurological, step-by-step sequence that must occur in the correct order. When steps are skipped or delayed, it creates long-term consequences in motor function, brain development, and overall health.
Dr. Skip explains how missing milestones like crawling can lead to issues such as pelvic floor dysfunction, poor posture, neurological delays, and even long-term challenges like ADHD and developmental disorders. We also discuss how current healthcare systems overlook these early warning signs and why early intervention matters more than ever.
In This Episode You Will Learn:
Childhood Development Truth: Why development is brain-based and must follow a specific sequence.
The “Wait and See” Problem: Why delaying action can lead to long-term neurological issues.
Missing Milestones: How skipping steps like rolling, sitting, and crawling impacts future development.
Crawling Matters: Why crawling is essential for brain communication and has been removed from CDC guidelines.
Primitive Reflexes: What they are, why they must integrate, and what happens if they don’t.
Motor vs. Language Development: Why your child should walk before they talk—and what it means if they don’t.
Long-Term Effects: How early developmental delays can lead to posture issues, pelvic dysfunction, and neurological challenges later in life.
