Nearly a quarter of boys – and one in seven girls
– is struggling to learn to talk because thousands of households
keep their TV sets on constantly making it difficult for them to
understand the speech of adults around them.
A survey revealed how 22 per cent of boys and 13 per cent of girls have trouble developing speech and understanding others.
Three per cent suffer ’significant’ problems, according
to a poll published by Jean Gross, the Government’s
communications adviser.
Middle-class children were just as likely to experience problems as youngsters from less affluent families, it emerged.
