The potty training is getting later and later now too.

Very simple. 1 income households don't exist anymore. This economy is horrible. Parents feel so much pressure to do well at work to have an income and to survive. Are burned out when they come home..

Tablets and phones don't teach fine motor skills.

And they used to be pleasant at circle time and would sit still and wanted to learn, listen to the book, they knew how to play with toys and use their imaginations.

I’ll blame electronics however parents are working more now than ever. It’s a shame. We’re all exhausted. I work in mental health the amount of 3 year old referrals I receive is insane.

It’s because parents don’t spend enough time teaching their children basic skills anymore. They’re doing them a disservice, and the teachers are suffering for it

Preschool teacher here, I find it’s much more about their inability to get along with others, understand that the world doesn’t revolve around them and to do anything they don’t want to do.

This 100! I have worked in pre-K for 13 years. Very sad to see this. People want to blame Covid. Nothing to do with it. Get the kids playing and off of iPads.

That is why early childhood education is important, we teach them all these skills starting as toddler!

I started Kindergarten in 1965, I didn’t know how to read, it basically was knowing social skills. My daughter started K IN 1994, she didn’t know how to read. Kindergarten is to develop basic skills

The attention spans seem much worse. The kids also seem like they have no interest in doing this stuff either, projects, coloring etc. They seem to just want to run wild and not listen whatsoever.

Young children coming into care at 3/4yrs have no idea how to do basic things like follow directions, sit & focus, feed themselves, or even ask for help. Let alone use scissors. Parents need to parent

I don’t agree with going into kindergarten reading. I’m 39 and I know for sure I didn’t. I started learning in grade 1 and my current grade 1 kid is way ahead of where I was.

Not my child ✨ we write, read, draw every day. She knows how to help clean up. Knows her alphabet, shapes & can count. Now we’re starting potty training. She’s 21 months 🥰 consistency is key ✨

Parents don’t want to parent, that includes education. They think they’re just supposed to send their kids to school and do nothing with them.

Absolutely, 4-5 age. I’ve watched it decline over the years but the past 2 years have been the worst. Especially this year. They can’t color, drawing is scribbles. That makes me so sad.

As a kindergarten teacher, I’d be happy if they would just listen to me so I could at least begin to teach them those skills
