Lordy lordy… Some children starting school ‘unable to climb staircase’, finds England and Wales teacher survey
Surely 'Covid baby' should actually have resulted in the child being more advanced in certain areas such as toilet training and other activities. The parents would have spent more time with them, not less. I can understand interaction with others being affected, although our great-nephew certainly doesn't have problems in that area.

“More time with” doesn’t necessarily equate to “more quality time with” though. And parents not really up to the task denied contact with other parents get less informal learning opportunities about what is considered normal, expected milestones, etc.
Most parents of youngsters that I've known complain more about having to stop their children from climbing anything and everything.
