Many of us do better when we have a trusted community to hang out with!
Here are some tips to finding community or building it yourself. This podcast will give you some tips and some suggestions for both. Remember, one size does not fit all - so you may need to create something that works for you and your kids.
Join us in the Membership group, if you'd like to surround yourself with other unschooling parents who are traveling on this path. I LOVE this group! So supportive and kind. You'll love it too. You really don't have to do this alone!

#26: What About Socialization?
One of the most popular questions unschoolers/homeschoolers face is "What about Socialization?" It's asked so often, we frequently refer to it as "The S Word."
It's not surprising when new people ask about this because we've all been so conditioned to believe that the schools PROVIDE the socialization that kids need. As many of us found out when our kids actually went to school (or if we think about our own school experience years ago) it may not be the best way kids learn to get along with others.
In this podcast, I talk about this some more. Also addressing worries about lacking access to other kids, developing social skills, and that concept of "toughening kids up."
Hopefully this will help you begin to see that socialization isn't as big of an issue as you've been thinking.
And of course, I have resources!
- Join the membership group if YOU need more socialization! ha!
Come surround yourself with supportive parents walking this unschooling path.
AND get resources galore and coaching from me every week!

Also! Some generous listeners have asked that I give the opportunity to financially support this podcast. Not on an every-month-subscription basis, but more of a "This was a good one, Sue!" So I've created a way! Any amount is appreciated!
