A new survey has found many parents think children's speech disorders are caused by holiday activities like watching TV and playing on computers.
One in six UK parents thought that language, communication and speech difficulties were caused by this, a OnePoll survey that questioned 6,000 people found.
Over half of those questioned also thought parents failing to talk to their little ones enough led to problems, suggesting that value for money family activities could help to solve this.
The research was carried out for the launch of the Hello campaign, which aims for schools, nurseries and homes to focus on developing kids' communication skills.
Although the precise cause of long term communication, language and speech problems is not known, the campaign attributed it to biological rather than environmental factors.
Nevertheless, parents can still organise activities for children over winter months to keep them occupied when they're off school. The Guardian said that now is the ideal time of year to try doing arts and crafts.
