90,000 as a pandemic affect children – DW – 11.02.2022

February 11, 200002 Closed children playgrounds during the lockdown significantly reduced the ability of children to communicate and had a bad effect on the development of their speech.

Play mother-daughter with girlfriends in kindergarten, talk to dolls, bombard the teacher with questions, and in the evening excitedly tell parents about how the day went : as a rule, kids chat a lot and with pleasure. And it is very important for their development. After all, active communication at an early age helps to correctly formulate one’s thoughts, understand the speech of others, build full-fledged relationships with other people, and develop social skills.
However, the coronavirus pandemic has significantly limited the social circle of children. The closure of kindergartens and playgrounds during the lockdown period, the need to be in social isolation – all this reduced the ability for kids to verbally and emotionally communicate with people outside the family, or completely deprived them of it for a long time. As a result, a child may experience a delay in the development of speech, and it is the basis for the formation of a personality, speech therapists and pediatricians warn. Their fears are shared by the kindergarten teacher with 25 years of experience Anna Derksen (Anna Derksen) from Cologne. “The time spent in quarantine has had a negative impact on the development of children’s speech. There is no doubt about it,” she notes in an interview with DW.
Speak fluently – through regular practice
The kindergarten where Anna Derksen works was closed for a long time due to the pandemic. Only a duty group worked, where they brought children from all over the kindergarten – and only those kids were accepted there whose parents documented the need for their presence at work.

they were able to speak well, the vocabulary was noticeably reduced. And first of all, this affected those whose native language was not German, “says Anna Derksen.
According to her, the first red flag is when a child at the age of two uses less than five dozen words in his speech. You should also carefully observe the baby when he too often gives monosyllabic answers to questions asked to him – such as “yes” or “I don’t know”, when he answers vaguely, with empty phrases, when he does not respond to requests.
“Communication and language skills need to be trained regularly, otherwise both the language level and the ability to communicate freely in children may stagnate. I think that due to the pandemic in Germany, the number of parents who will have to take their children to classes with speech therapists and tutors will noticeably increase in German,” says Anna Derksen.
Vocabulary replenishment – in creative play
Meanwhile, in 2020 (this is the latest information of this kind), speech therapists in Germany conducted 6.
4 percent fewer classes with children than a year earlier, states Sonja Utikal from German Federal Association of Speech Pathologists. According to her, in Germany during the pandemic, for the first time, speech therapists were allowed to conduct therapy sessions for children via video link, but, as it turned out, this format of classes is not suitable for every child.
There are no exact data on how many children in Germany have problems with language acquisition. But, according to various estimates, in Germany, speech disorders affect from two to 15 percent of babies aged four to six years, says Sonya Utikal.

According to Anna Derksen, in the kindergarten where she works, special emphasis is now placed on creative speech classes with children. “During such games, we encourage the kids to describe in their own words what they saw, express their thoughts aloud, give free rein to their imagination. Let’s say I show the children a picture that depicts a fairy-tale palace – and invite them to speculate about who is there lives, what its inhabitants do, and so on,” the teacher shares.
She also cites the following game as an example: the children line up in front of the teacher, and he throws a ball to each in turn, while pronouncing a word. The kid is required to catch the ball and immediately throw it back, while saying the antonym (for example, good – evil, light – dark, hot – cold). Such traditional methods as describing pictures, answering questions about the content of a fairy tale just read aloud by the teacher, learning songs and poems are also widely practiced.
Theatrical performances as an incentive to speak
But playing on the stage especially stimulates active speech and improves the articulatory apparatus of children, says the teacher. So, along with the project “Jeux dramatiques” (translated from French – “Dramatic Games”), which is being implemented in her kindergarten, where the players convey the content of what is happening, interact with each other and express their emotions not with words, but with the help of gestures, plasticity and facial expressions, theatrical performances are also played here, where you have to speak.
“Such performances greatly contribute to the development of coherent speech of children. We choose their topics spontaneously. Sometimes we stage a well-known fairy tale, and sometimes we invent something ourselves. Recently, for example, children acted out scenes from the life of a family consisting of different animals – a bear cub , a cat, a badger, a fox. The role of the mother of the family – a panther – was tried on by four-year-old Ulrike. First, she feeds her “children” with breakfast, and then collects the badger and the bear for school. She leaves the fox at home, because she is sick and needs to be treated. A kitten helps to take care of the “sister”, – Anna explains.
According to her, such role-playing games are one of the most effective ways to develop children’s speech and display their creative abilities. Not to mention the fact that during such performances, children learn to reincarnate in new images, put themselves in the place of others, accept the point of view of the interlocutor, respect each other, emphasizes the teacher from Cologne Anna Derksen.
