      More worrying is that one in four is not toilet trained. Pathetic, the parents need a visit from social services.

      It may sound alarmist, but we have absolutely seen a decline in life skills in the past decade and the consequences could be dire.

      While there seems to be a change brewing, it will come too late for an alarming number of children.

      How many homes have books which are accessible for children?

      I could read before I went to school . Back then we had books in the home but we were poor and the bookshelf wasn’t well stocked.

      Nowadays, books are quite expensive but everyone has a phone.

      Children often have tablets and can read from them.

      Reading is a skill. What is more important is oracy and this is being killed by the online space.

      Bit confused by this. The article doesn’t actually appear to expand on the headlines claim that these kids can’t ‚use a book‘.

      Like..what does that mean? I’d imagine most pre-school kids can’t read, that’s normal right? The swiping and taping thing? Anecdotal.

      As for the find that 1/4 kids occasionally has a toilet based accident in reception class…is that also not to be somewhat expected?

      I’m a parent. I know I’m far from perfect, but this article just stinks of slightly alarmist thinking. We could and should be doing better by our children, absolutely…but this article ain’t it.
