Correction of long-term consequences of perinatal trauma Nothing compares to the joy of the birth of a child; of course, this is a long-awaited moment for many families. However, according to the World Health Organization, various birth injuries occur in 8-11% of newborns, and up to 75% of babies receive microdamages. What is perinatal (birth) trauma? This is mechanical damage that a child receives during movement through the natural birth canal due to certain circumstances. Problems during childbirth (medical stimulation of the onset of labor, delivery through cesarean section, breech presentation, hypoxia during childbirth, rapid or protracted course of labor, etc.) etc.) can cause disruption in the formation of higher mental functions. How will this manifest itself in the future? Damage received during childbirth can make itself felt delayed, at school age, in the form of: disturbances in behavior, attention, memory; learning difficulties; sleep disturbances; increased fatigue; frequent colds. Clinical psychologists believe that the contingent in need of neuropsychological assistance is quite large, and its basis is children without pronounced disorders. These are children with a normal level of intelligence for their age who are educated in public schools and have difficulties mastering certain academic skills or mastering the school routine. This category also includes children who spend a lot of effort and time on preparing homework, who are “inattentive,” “absent-minded,” who always forget and lose school supplies at school, and who often get sick. So, how can a parent help his child? There are several programs for neuropsychological developmental correction. This is the method of replacement ontogenesis by A. V. Semenovich, and the “Program of comprehensive neuropsychological correction and rehabilitation” by N. Ya. Semago, etc., which include stretching, breathing, oculomotor and bodily exercises. As a rule, neuropsychological assistance is provided in specialized centers. I suggest parents learn a set of bodily practices, including the author’s developments, and apply it independently at home. This complex reproduces intrauterine development and the birth process, and also activates the autonomous adaptation of children. It is important that this technique, in addition to the clinical effect, promotes rapprochement and trust between parent and child.
