There’s a myth that homeschooling is socially isolating. That is often what keeps lots of families from trying this immensely beneficial form of education.

The truth is that there are so many ways in which parents can connect their homeschoolers with others their age–they just need to be PROACTIVE.
Given homeschooling’s increasing popularity, especially in the wake of COVID-19, parents can take the following measures to ensure their children interact meaningfully with peers:
- Plug into homeschool groups online and in person
- Ask questions and learn from other families that have been there.
- Show up and keep showing up-join clubs and activities
- Use your local library
- Volunteer
- Invest in relationships
