There is a misconception that home-schooled children are socially non-adaptive. But haven't you met kids at public and private schools that don't relate to others?
I remember kids in my previous public school that weren't friendly or social at all. I believe that with proper education at home, the child can be more social than many other school children. The key to socialization is to make sure the child is involved in activities outside the home like a sports team, an arts group, theater, band... etc. When parents forget that, social isolation can occur. So the big responsibility is the parents'. Some parents do not socialize their children as they should, hence the child is going to always be the home-schooled child that is quiet or withdrawn but you can find that in your public and private schools also!
It should be done properly with the child who's in need for social interaction so that he/she will flourish, with more self-assurance than many public school students.
I think that the child should go to the school to socialize because home schooling alone is not enough to make our children sociable. Even if their parents are teaching them many social behavior but they are not enough. Interacting with children out side home especially in the school will teach them more social skills and they will be more interactive.
ReplyDeleteChildren most of the time act in a different way when they are alone without their parents, and seems to be less comfortable and more shy, whatever parents affording to their children in home school, children needs to socialize , be independent and understand the world around them without the interference of parents
