There’s growing concern across the UK that more children are starting Reception without the basic skills needed to cope in a classroom.
Some are not toilet trained.
Some struggle to communicate clearly.
Many have had limited interaction outside the home.
One of the biggest contributing factors?
Too much screen time… and not enough real-world interaction.
Why this matters:
The early years are critical for developing confidence, communication, and independence. Without these foundations, children can feel overwhelmed from the very start of school.
The good news:
With the right guidance, parents can make simple changes that have a big impact.
