Homeschooled kids don’t have social skills !?

I think all parents should keep their kids at home and teach them. Why don't they?

Good point but music is too loud

I know homeschooled kids who dont socialize at all, and their mom always does the talking, but not always the case

This would be the dream if only I could work from home and have just a little help!!

My son is not one to interact with others. I have to do the talking to the other kids and he will very slowly join in but tries hiding behind me for the conversation 😢
He is very well spoken and his teachers always tell us he has a very extended vocabulary.
It’s great. The interaction part is the area I’m most concerned with 🤕

One of our little girls at playgroup is homeschooled and she is the most social child out of the whole playgroup. She is very talkative, constantly making friends and is very interactive.

Home schooled literally just means taught at home she makes friends through playgroup, extra curricular activities and mom's friend's kids

As a homeschooled child myself, I would say that it depends on the child and their personality. Me and my sister are both homeschooled, and we both have completely different personalities and social skills. I was always the introverted shy kid without social skills (so basically the homeschooled kid standard) and she was always the extroverted talkative person who was always making new friends. So honestly no matter if your child is homeschooled or not, they’re gonna have different personalities and social traits.

This is one of the most annoying misconceptions about homeschooling! I always say this is not the early 1900s because homeschooling have the same opportunities as a public school… except there is freedom in homeschooling.

I'm a homeschooling teen, and I couldn't be happier. I have a ton of friends of all different ages. From baby to 90 some years old. No joke!!

People who say that are simple-minded and extremely surface level individuals. They lack logic completely and have 0 evidence to back up their false claims. Never take anything those ignorant type of people say seriously!

Going to school may severely cause social anxiety due to bullies. Mean and miserable middle-aged teachers are bullies there, too. Home schooling can allow the child to grow up without those obstacles. However, there is a very odd and weird way that most Americans (sensory types) think. Being an introvert is never a bad thing. In fact, it's a good thing. Wouldn't every parent prefer their daughter to be more on the introverted and reserved side vs being a loose goose, busting it open on OF 🥴

i was homeschooled and got like a couple hours of socialization with other people every week 😭

Actually it depends on the parents because I haven’t socialized with basically anyone my whole life besides family. I am forced to just do school all day for almost 12 hours straight and I basically pass out when I go to bed because of how tired I get.

Well it rly depends on how the parents structure the homeschooling. I’m sure there really are some kids that struggle socially & some parents that don’t rly put in the effort to foster these skills, but good on this mom for being proactive in having her daughter practice from a young age 🔥

Song?

That’s just the personality of some kids. I was homeschooled 4th-6th grade and before that I was a social little girl, but being homeschool caused a decline in my social skills and I completely shut down. To this day, my social skills still don’t add up to how they were before I was homeschooled. Though I went back last year, and school has helped a little bit, but still isn’t the same.

I go to school and have my mom talk for me…….

One of my arguments for home education was that my children were interacting with people of all ages and when they go into the work place they aren't separated into age categories!

Homeschooling is what supported me through my life. Homeschooling is what made me social

I homeschooled my seeds. Qn M

most public schoolers are all dumb airheads and don't want to do anything but sit on the phone all day

Oh yes we do have social skills! people who dislike us dislike all the celebrities too 😝😝😝

Depends who is teaching them. If i were to home school id be able to go all over with my kids but some parents dont go anywhere with their kid. They just have them home all day. Most homeschooled kids are like that.

Fr I’m unschooled and I know like 40 people and I’m introverted

Totally agree!

Unfortunately Barnes & Noble nearest stores in my area don’t have Wellie Wishers books anymore 😿😿. Not even American Girl books..

Ya know what's funny my social skills didn't really degrade until I started public school in 5th grade. Before then I was just shy around strangers, but that's a personality thing.

As someone who is homeschooled rn, i can relate, everyone’s like - “oh your homeschooled? How do you know so and so then? “ …..
Woman I’m homeschooled not jail-schooled.

Right!!! Love this! ❤

For me I was just as not social in homeschool than normal school but that’s bc I wasn’t to social at school to begin with but you have to find a balance maybe put ur kids in sports or something like that I’m starting to get a bit more social now you just have to go out sometimes

❤❤ love it. Homeschool my daughter as well.

They have to keep kids in the meat grinder to indoctrinate them in their agendas..i think best to home school then if no way to have interactions with other kids, then put them in as teens when they can protect themselves better..kids need other kids..just not turned into soldiers that can only follow orders vs thkg for themselves

I have 2 children. My son just turned 8 and my daughter is 5. I decided well before my son was school age that I would not be enrolling him or any of my future children into public school. Or any for that matter. We call our school “the school of life” because even as adults we are always learning every day. It never stops. When people started questioning my son (as if it’s their place they should be asking me) about school I’d have to explain and it’s insane to me that the ONLY thing people ever say is the “lack” of socialization. Which is hysterical to me bc both of my children are more social than I am and I went to public and I blame school culture for the reason I still struggle socially. They are also WAY more social and inclusive than all the school kids. I also really want them to continue to develop their OWN sense of self their own opinions style etc. rather than feeling the need to be like everyone else bc public schoolers all know how that goes. I’d have to say that my experience has been quite the opposite and my two are incredibly social. They can hold conversations with all types of age groups. Even adults. It can be difficult when there aren’t many other homeschoolers to be involved with but we make do.

Children being raised by their parents turn out much better that these indoctrination camps posing as schools nowadays...

As a Public Schooler I can literally confirm that I have no social skills LITERALLY

Homeschools have higher success in everything they do

We homeschooled and still had homeschooled kids bully and act like they were better than non homeschooled. Plenty of kids ruined my kids childhood not coming to bday parties etc all homeschooled. Religious too.

I agree 5 kids 3 years going strong 😂🎉

My daughter is too SOCIAL thank you for showing this

I homeschool. My kids can function outside of a highly curated, child-centric environment. They don’t see the world as being separated into people with authority and people without it. Everything isn’t about pecking order and power structures, but about connection. This is the kind of socialization the world needs.

it fine to have part time play,seem like learningg with some what serious intentions of acrually wanting to learn went out like the bang theory..play time centrual

Im homeschooled, and i havent had a human interaction in 4 years. My mother locks me in the house and i can only contact my one and only friend through messages, i never am alooud to leave home. I was taught speaking up was talking back. So i cant experience any healthy relationships with people, because my mom is toxic and emotionally abusive. Id do anything to go to a public school.

YES there is a study that home school kids have a harder time to get to learn new friends the older they get. So going from being homeschooled to college is gonna be hard when they are older, not only because of socila aspect

That’s not the same has interacting and playing with kids her own age. Or problem solving with kids her age. And my fav was seeing how my peers dressed .

If you are homeschooled 👇

The school age kids are the ones you need to worry about and it's half of them causing riots with their school mates across the country and a lot of major inner city communities. They are murdering people at alarming rates. They're not learning anything at all except how to become more criminals and rebel against their parents.
