208: Getting Honest About Socialization

Join us as we discuss getting honest about socialization!   This is a biggie! When people ask about socialization, they’re usually wondering about one of the following: How will the homeschooled child spend time with other children? How will the homeschooled child learn to act appropriately in situations where other people are around?  Will homeschooling turn a child into a weird, eccentric kid? We’re here to validate any concerns you might have about socialization and help put your mind at ease.     This last season of our podcast is for homeschooling parents, traditional school parents, and everyone in between. This is our last season and definitely our best season!   We’re here to show you how to: Identify learning opportunities in everything you do, how to celebrate your child’s differences, and how to give yourself and your kids credit for all the things you’re already doing. If you have felt unwelcome in other spaces, we hope you feel welcome here.    LTWs  Angela: Favorite New Summer T-shirt I’ve already stocked up for summer!   Maren:  HIdrate Spark Water Bottle If you’ve been around Homeschool Unrefined for a while, you know I’ve used this smart water bottle in the past! After several year’s hiatus, I’m back. The new, updated water bottle is smarter, way easier to clean, and comes with a long-lasting, rechargeable base. It solves all the problems I had with their old bottle, and then some. I love the new tumbler model, which sits by my side all day long.   You can now pre-order our book!  Our book will be released on June 18th!
