Pandemic (Lockdowns) may have impacted babies' social communication skills

I did read it. It doesn’t make sense and comes across as fear-baiting. Up until 24-36 months, a child’s “social engagement” is the immediate family, or sometimes just the parents. It doesn’t make sense to me, as a parent, to hear that people locked up with their kid we’re somehow neglecting them to the point they don’t develop social skills. Infants and toddlers develop social skills by default simply from engaging their parents and family. It never has to be a large circle. So, unless these babies were being locked in black rooms without engagement, they developed just fine.

Show me the kids and teens who have been affected. Babies aren’t the problem, unless the parents really fucked it up.
