Alarming Rise in Developmental Delays Among Romanian Kindergarten Children

A recent report by Realitatea Plus reveals a disturbing trend in Romania. More and more children entering kindergarten exhibit developmental delays in speech and social skills. Experts point to excessive screen time and insufficient parent-child interaction as the primary causes. "It's alarming how many children struggle with communication when they start school," says one expert interviewed in the Realitatea Plus report. The report emphasizes the importance of limiting screen time and engaging in meaningful communication with children from a young age. The lack of sufficient interaction can lead to significant delays in language development and social integration. The report concludes with a call to action for parents to prioritize face-to-face interactions over screen time and to seek professional help if needed. This issue highlights the need for increased awareness and support for families in navigating the challenges of raising children in a digital age.
