HOME Where They Belong

my son was socially awkward in his school, i've had him out for a year and he's less anxious and more confident in social situations now than he's ever been

Absolutely beautiful and INSPIRING! (((((HUGS)))))  sandi

Children learn from their parents, if their parents are socially well adapted it is likely, the child(ren) will be.... I am a social butterfly and each of my homeschooled children love to interact with both adults and children. My kids are involved in 4-H, take homeschool classes at local libraries and participate in sports & recreation programs in addition to church and scouts. Thanks for the video - Kudos!

This is a wonderful video!! And as for social awkardness...my husband and I went to school, and our homeschooled children have 3 times the friends we had at their respective ages. Not only that, but they have older friends and younger friends, friends with varying interests, and can hold a conversation with a grownup. Plus, they love to learn...we don't have to force it.

This is beautiful....and very true. Our state wants my children to learn about drugs & alcohol in 4th grade!!! Why expose them to this at this age when they don't HAVE to be exposed like I was as a child...for the previous comment "homeschoolers are 'different' socially" By different you mean not like the materialistic,cussing, promiscuous, sarcastic no respect for anyone valley girls & boys or wanna-be gangstas that are in mostpublic schools? Yes! they are refreshingly different..Thank God!!!!

People who toss out the socialization card know they have no logical point against homeschooling. Don't waste your time on them. As long as your child isn't on drugs, using porno, and pregnant at 16, they won't be "normal". It's great!

what is the music played in the background (name & composer)

not entirely true, how many loving children mix with the wrong crowd and change. not all problems begin in the home. my daughter is no way going to public school, and i am NOT religious. i am responsible for my daughter and wont offload her into one of the many government training camps like a sheep. it isnt only christians who home school, or are you a religionist

I wish you could meet our grown children - or the one we still have at home. Our oldest has a master's in nursing and is a charge nurse in a busy ER, the next is a wife and mom, childbirth educator, self-taught signer, freelance graphic designer (BA in it), and more; oldest son is an MP, Iraq vet, recruiter with HUGE performance records - a tremendous "people person" - they all are. Youngest is 14, a soccer player, RevWar reenactor who is praised for manners, mature behavior, and ease w/ adults.

A good reminder of why many are choosing to homeschool! It's hard to argue with these facts and images....
