Children that are taught at home tend to have stronger relationships with his or her father or mother. This is because first, the children only usually spend, on the average, two to three hours per day receiving instruction. There is a lot of time wasted each day that a child could be learning something else. At home also, the curriculum can be geared to fit the individuals need. All in all, the children have more time to spend, at home, building relationships with their family.
Many people are concerned about the social factor of home schooled children.
It's a common belief that home schooled children will not develop the proper social skills to enable them to interact with others later in life. Many children that are home schooled today have formed their own social clubs. There are things ranging from their own basketball teams to 4-H Clubs. Some children even get together and go on field trips together almost once a week. Social skills are no longer a problem for home schooled children.
