What about socialization?
| How many times, since you graduated from High School, have you been in a room with 30 other people of your exact same age? It is important for our children to be able to interact with people of all ages, races, religious affiliations, socio-economic backgrounds, etc. The best way to do this is for the child to be exposed to the various people their parents come in contact in the course of a normal day. You (the parent) have more control over how your child responds to someone who might be different. Instead of following his/her peers and exhibiting an unloving or cruel attitude, you can step in and explain how, in God's eyes, we are all equal and no one is better than another. We each are loved by God no matter who we are. Most parents, in an attempt to balance the socialization fear, over schedule their children's time with outside activities. While it is important for your children to experience activities outside the house, remember to be very cautious. Add one thing at a time, then, as long as schoolwork is getting done (and your housework), consider adding another. Most homeschool families find that 1 - 2 activities / child are all they can manage. |
