Child development delays due to the pandemic
The recent pandemic may have disrupted the early developmental stages of many children’s lives by diminishing their experiences and developmental aids*. This includes, but is not limited to:
- Less social interaction
- Missed medical appointments or checkups
- No peer group activities
- Less time spent doing physical activity
All of these help children develop their behavioural, emotional, language, problem-solving, reasoning, and social skills.
