The teacher spoke about the impact of gadgets on children's speech development

A child learns to speak when he simultaneously receives visual, auditory, tactile, and emotional information, smells, and interacts with objects and people. This was stated by speech therapist, psychologist, teacher of Russian language and literature Inna Bogoroditskaya in an interview with Izvestia. All of the above, according to her, adds up to a holistic experience, from which the opportunity to express oneself through speech is gradually born.

A small life: how can a child spend the summer profitably

Long vacations can be used to repeat school material, but do not forget about rest.

"The device's screen offers only a flat image and a limited set of sounds, impoverishing the child's sensory experience. Speech formation requires complex processing of information from all the senses (sight, hearing, touch), which cannot be obtained by passively consuming content from the screen," the teacher explained.

The lack of tactile and motor experience in children who spend a lot of time with gadgets directly affects the formation of neural connections and brain development, the editorial office interlocutor emphasized.
