Homeschooling And Socialization

By joannegreco 228 days ago from http://anunschoolinglife.blogspot.com

Talking To A Homeschooled/Unschooled Child

By joannegreco 221 days ago from http://anunschoolinglife.blogspot.com

There was a discussion, on one of my unschooling e-mail groups, about how extended family members seem to have a hard time talking to a child when they can't talk about school.
