Infants have “been unable to see lip movements or mouth shapes as regularly.”.
Lockdown restrictions, including adults wearing face masks, has left a generation of babies and toddlers struggling with speech and social skills, according to an official report.
Inspectors working for Ofsted found that infants being surrounded by adults wearing face masks for significant periods of time over the last two years has damaged their learning and communication abilities.
Those turning two “will have been surrounded by adults wearing masks for their whole lives and have therefore been unable to see lip movements or mouth shapes as regularly,” the report found.
“Some providers have reported that delays to children’s speech and language development have led to them not socialising with other children as readily as they would have expected previously,” it added.
The restrictions also left toddlers struggling with crawling, using the toilet independently and making friends.
Delays in learning had also regressed some children to the stage where they needed help with basic tasks such as putting on their coats and blowing their noses.
“I’m particularly worried about younger children’s development which, if left unaddressed, could potentially cause problems for primary schools down the line,” said chief inspector Amanda Spielman.
We previously highlighted another study out of Germany which found that the reading ability of children has plummeted compared to pre-COVID times thanks to lockdown policies that led to the closure of schools.
Speech therapist Jaclyn Theek said that mask wearing during the pandemic has caused a 364% increase in patient referrals of babies and toddlers.
“They’re not making any word attempts and not communicating at all with their family,” she said, adding that symptoms of autism are also skyrocketing.
Although I’m no expert on such matters it’s easy to imagine that as a young child learns a language it’s very helpful...if not essential...for him/her to be able to see the lips and full face of the person speaking. It would be interesting to see what experts have to say about totally blind children learning a spoken language.
Disney stands ready and willing to “help” these socially awkward children.
My wife is an educational diagnostician, and she says it has dropped IQ scores in many pre-K, K, and elementary age children. She says she has resorted to using non-verbal testing in many cases where they normally wouldn’t require it.
The natural immunity in children was working. The rate of noticeable illness was sooooo low...it was almost immeasurable.
And to keep them from their friends and a normal classroom routine...
Talk about "Crimes Against Humanity".
We have known for over 100 years that masks do not block a virus.
Masks were / are necessary only for political reasons
Without words, the next generation will not have the tools to describe concepts such as “Liberty” or “Freedom”. Mute little sheep that will work in the fields and factories, or be rendered along with the bug meal into extruded protein pellets for the drones.

NWO : you will own nothing and be happy
If it’s any consolation, it’s not just the young kids. I’d say two years of masking has turned a lot of adults into full-blown retards.
If they can’t sacrifice to Molech in the womb, then they’ll groom em, molest em and physically handicap em any way they can. Demonic...and they’re after our kids and grandkids.
“Mask Wearing Has Left a Generation of Toddlers Struggling With Speech and Social Skills”
Much can be said about the thread title itself. Practically no one in our area wears a mask and have not done so for a year or better - except lefties. They wear them in cars, outside when alone, I bet they wear them to bed.
And with regards to struggling with speech and social skills, that applies to all ages through the ages. It’s something their toddlers do not have a monopoly on.
Driving alone, masked with the windows up, fools self identify as ...

The headline is cause for a “No Sh!t, Sherlock” rejoinder for stating something that was going to be an obvious outcome from the day it was implemented.
“It’s not a Flaw - - It’s a Feature!”
Don’t worry — the CDC addressed this and said that it’s now normal.
They aren’t masks.
They’re muzzles.
And Big Med and Big Ed are all in on muzzling the nation’s kids.
Great, more democrats.
