Understanding Reflex Integration Through Play with Coach Franny
Episode Recap from the RITP Podcast

In this episode of the RITP Podcast, we explore a radically compassionate approach to childhood development with Fran Rubio Katz, also known as Coach Franny. A social-emotional behavioral coach and educator, Fran invites us to rethink how we view behavior—shifting from “What’s wrong with this child?” to “What’s happening in their body?”

At the heart of our conversation is the concept of reflex integration, a developmental process that plays a vital role in emotional regulation, learning, and everyday behavior.
