In today's technology-driven world, fostering social and emotional competencies in children is more vital than ever. Despite the prevalence of digital devices, children's fundamental needs remain unchanged; they require the presence and guidance of trusted adults to navigate social interactions effectively.

Dr. Marek Kaczmarzyk, a biologist and neurodidactician at the University of Silesia, emphasizes the importance of adult involvement in a child's early development. 

"Particularly in the early stages of the first few years, our brains form basic relational competencies, from language to empathy. Therefore, the presence of a conscious, empathetic, speaking, and sensitive adult is what young people need and have always needed," he noted.

The increasing use of digital devices among young children underscores the need for developing these skills. Studies indicate that nearly two-thirds of children aged two to five use mobile devices, often without full awareness of the content they access. This trend highlights the necessity for adults to actively engage with children, helping them build essential social skills and navigate the digital landscape responsibly.
