How wonderful to read this! It encourages me even more to continue with my homeschool plan for my daughter. Out of ignorance, many people have looked at me badly and made unconstructive comments, they call me overprotective and the most repeated one is: "you don't want your daughter to socialize with other children" and the truth is that nothing could be further from the truth. reality your comments. I am going to further investigate the laws regarding education in the country where I am located to see if they legally allow me to do this. Thank you very much for commenting on your experience, it is gratifying. I wish you much success!
My son does taekwondo and goes to camp in summer and my daughter does dance and plays tball. We are friends with another homeschool family as well that have kids similar ages as ours so the kids visit with them every couple weeks too. They get enough socializing.
Let’s be honest, kids these days all socialize online anyways. Sadly no one just goes out and plays anymore. They all play and talk on Roblox or Minecraft or Fortnite. I don’t like it but they must grow up in their era not mine.

Correct, they socialize in workshops, in extracurricular activities, in the park, with neighbors and family, just because it is not inside a classroom in a formal school does not mean that they will be asocial. Regarding making friends online, I am not at that stage yet because my daughter is young and I do not give her that access at the moment, but she will arrive that day and will also socialize through that medium. Actually in another time, I learned to read with a book and I taught my daughter to read with YouTube, she didn't pay attention when I tried to do it with a book similar to the one my mother uses with me, so I thought "new era, new methods" and it worked excellent.
