What if all my child´s friends are in school and she feels left out?

Friends

Sometimes, it happens that all of a child's friends will be in "regular" school and that child will feel different. Explain to your child why you decided to homeschool and explain it with a sense of pride. If need be, buy some "school" things to help your child feel more like he or she is in school. Try these ideas:

• Buy a typical classroom desk
• Hang typical elementary posters and bulletin boards to help with the "school" atmosphere
• Hang an alphabet freeze as a border

Creating a school-like environment can help kids to adjust to home schooling—especially if they have been pulled from a school to be homeschooled.
