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.

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.

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.

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.

Community Service

• Many homeschooling families understand the
  importance of the community. Thats 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.

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!

Good Old Fashion Play

• Just because your child is homeschooled doesnt
  mean they cant or shouldnt 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.

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.
