Cafi Cohen |

The freedom of homeschooling gives children a chance to spend the time and energy necessary to develop and maintain good friendships. Cafi Cohen shares how homeschoolers develop friendships in much the way adults do--via shared interests. Even though they are available in one form or another, those pivotal social experiences (proms and graduations) plus daily age-peer contacts are not needed to produce a socially-competent individual. Real world socialization experiences (regardless of the size of that world) far better prepare kids for the challenges they will face. |
