With the incredible and numerous benefits of home-schooling, it is also important to create a school and extracurricular activities balance. With the flexibility of home-schooling this isn’t hard to do. Kids still need to participate in activities where they can socialise with other children and adults.
Extracurricular Ideas
1. Joining a local children’s sports team can help kids learn the essentials of team work and physical coordination.
2. Enrolling kids in musical lessons are excellent for memory retention and encouragement in developing new skills.
3. Art lessons with local groups are a fun way to encourage creativity.
4. Social parenting networks are readily available on social media platforms. You can find parents in your local area and have park/play dates.
5. Scouts and Guides groups are another excellent way to help kids socialise with other children and teach a variety of skills and moral fortitude.
Speaking to your child about the different options and understanding their interests, will help to create a strategy for getting them into activities outside the home and involved with others.
