Homeschooling and Socialization is a topic that makes many homeschool families cringe. And it’s not because their children are inadequately socialized; it’s because so many people ask them about socialization and voice their concerns. https://schoolio.com/homeschooling-and-socialization/

Socialization go hand in hand

2. Homeschooling and Socialization
● This might surprise you, but homeschooling
and socialization go hand in hand. In fact,
many homeschooled children have better
social lives than their traditionally schooled
peers.
● According to Think Impact Homeschooling
Statistics, recent federal data shows that 3%
to 4% of the school-going population in the
United States is homeschooled.
● There are 73 million children in the U.S.,
which means over 2.9 million children are
homeschooled in the U.S.

3. Socialization opportunities for homeschooled
children:
● As stated above, if over 2.9 million children in the United States are homeschooled, how could they all
be isolated and live unsocialized lives? Have you ever had a conversation with a homeschooled
child? They are usually the ones the explain in detail the project that they are working on.
● They are the ones that have unique interests and see the world through a much different lens than
those around them.

4. Homeschooling Groups:
● Since there are so many homeschooling
families, many families get together to plan
fun activities and sports-related opportunities
for their children.
● Most cities have such a large amount of
homeschooling families that they have
registered homeschooling groups.
● These groups offer support for
homeschooling families, co-op learning, field
trips, sports, and lessons.

5. Sports:
● Our local homeschooling group comes with
some fantastic perks, like gymnastics
lessons, at a local gymnastics club,
swimming lessons at the pool, track and field
during the warm months, and gym/indoor
pool rentals during the cold months,
sledding, skiing, horseback riding and more.

6. Community Service:
● Many homeschooling families understand
the importance of the community. That’s why
so many homeschooling families will
volunteer at community events. Or care
homes.
● Some homeschooling groups organize
carolling and visits with local care homes
during the holiday season.
● Other homeschooling families like to get
involved in community gardens or soup
kitchens.

7. Park Dates:
● During the summer months, when
homeschooling activities are mostly paused,
many homeschooling groups offer weekly
meet-ups at parks in your location so
homeschooling friends can get together to
play and have fun!

8. Good Old Fashion Play:
● Just because your child is homeschooled
doesn’t mean they can’t or shouldn’t partake
in friendships in their neighbourhood.
● Most homeschooled children have
‘homeschooled’ friends and ‘neighbourhood
friends.’ Just like a traditionally schooled
child will have ‘school friends’ and
‘neighbourhood friends.’

9. Basking in the Arts:
● Since homeschooled children have more
time during the day than traditional learning
students, they have more time to get
involved in the arts.
● This means they have more time to attend
music lessons or art classes. Being able to
develop those additional skills that will
benefit them throughout their lives.
