Yes, you can homeschool!

Many parents than ever are feeling the shortcomings and risks of sending their kids to a public or even private school and are beginning to consider another option. But there are so many concerns, myths, and limiting beliefs that can come with the idea of homeschooling.

I’ve got you covered! You can watch my full homeschool class below where I go into all of those things—everything from socialization to learning styles, budget, time, and more. Learn how almost 2 million other parents do it, how studies show that homeschooled children are more socially mature than children who attend conventional schools, and more! You can find additional links for research, resources, and more below the video.

Socialization

Research demonstrates that homeschoolers are less like to be influenced by peer pressure, have equal opportunities with peers for socialization (such as church groups, co-ops, music, dance, and sports lessons, family get-togethers, etc.

In studies, home school and public school children were tested for social development with the Vineland Adapative Behavior Scale. Homeschoolers scored higher on communication, daily living skills, socialization, and social maturity. The researchers concluded, “Children kept home are more mature and better socialized than those who are sent to school.”

“Socialization of children in home schools is effective without exposure to large groups of children. Homeschool parents are imparting positive family socialization which is not inferior to the public school culture.”
