Social skills is an area of great concern when it comes
homeschooling. Many critics point out that since man needs to hone
social skills, a learning environment at home where social
interaction is limited is detrimental to its growth and
development. But studies have proven this wrong.
Children placed in the highly competitive school environment
lack the confidence to hold a conversation. These children show
little genuine interest in the topic of conversation and not
know how to interact with people of different age groups
especially the elderly.
Children who learn at home are more aware of the implications and
the purpose of their learning. They will ask intelligent questions
and make accurate observations. Children begin their lives
imitating their parents. homeschooled children therefore choose
the excellent qualities they see in their parents. On the other
hand, they are protected from harmful influences of
pairs.
These children are best equipped with the necessary tools
to face the world. Positive reinforcement takes place
in the learning environment at home instead of being abandoned
embarrassed or ignored in a normal school environment strengthens
self-esteem. Children are more balanced and
well-rounded as they move into adulthood.
