My son’s friend invited him to a church youth event yesterday. This is a neighborhood friend who goes to public school and plays with my sons multiple times per week.
Isaac has not been to this church or group before and was excited when he got back, “Dad! I knew kids from Pokémon Club, summer camp, and theater!”
“Socialization” is usually the first concern of those who haven’t thought about home education. The reality is that relationships are at the core of what we do. We learn from those around us, in the places where knowledge becomes interactive.
