We all need friends. Friends make everything more fun. Good friends add richness to life. Lifelong friends are jewels, rare and special. And being friends with entire families is an extra blessing.<\/p>\n

But, how do you go about finding such friends in the homeschool community? First, let me say that having friends that are not homeschoolers is great, but it is nice to have homeschooling in common and to be on similar schedules. It is nice to have some free time to get together early in the day. Our family often reserves evenings, weekends and holidays for family time, so we want to be able to get together with friends during the week.<\/p>\n

The easiest way to find new friends is to be a greeter. Be the one who speaks to all the moms you see at meetings and activities. Do you remember when you were the new one and how much you wanted to see a friendly face? Be that friendly face. You can do it, and most importantly, you can teach your children to do it. Knowing how to greet people is a skill that will help children at all stages of life. Your children will remember being greeted by a friendly face, and it may give them motivation to be<\/em> a friendly face.<\/p>\n

After you have met everyone, begin looking for those you want to know better. We often have homeschool activities that allow moms to drop off their children. Please don\u2019t do that! Stay and visit with other moms. I know it would be nice to run errands, but if you do, you will miss a wonderful opportunity to build friendships.<\/p>\n

Moms who get to visit together for an hour or two at a time can learn a lot about each other as they share information and experience. You can find out who has children similar to yours. You can find out who has similar values and who likes similar activities. If you\u2019re new to the area, then you can also find out about shops, doctors, classes, and churches. And the biggest help to me, personally, is finding out what new recipes they love! Sharing at least one weekly activity is so helpful in developing a friendship. You can make friends at monthly activities as well, but it will probably take longer.<\/p>\n

During these visits you can also plan field trips. Joining with a couple of other families helps you to enjoy a field trip even more! Plan a park day, a hike, or share information on area homeschool days. You can also make plans to attend another homeschool activity that week or maybe meet for lunch or a play date.<\/p>\n

We often invite other families to go out for a snack after<\/em> an activity, to prolong the visiting time, and include the children. The children get to know each other during their scheduled activity, of course, but moms get to observe the interaction at snack time. Doesn\u2019t the best fellowship involve food? When you are suggesting where to go, it is considerate to choose budget-friendly places.<\/p>\n

When you start reaching out to people, very soon you will look forward to all gatherings. You will see your favorite people at all activities. You and your children will be friends with whole families. You will have a meaningful homeschool community.<\/p>\n

How does this help you? Well, children really appreciate hanging out with friends, especially in the teen years. You will be glad to know their friends and the families they come from. You can share the growing pains with your mom friends. You will want to guide your children to know what\u2019s important in a friend. You might want to plan or host guy events if you have sons. Teach your children that their friends are important for all of their life. You will enjoy seeing your children share all of their special life events with those friends. You will enjoy keeping in touch with all of those mom friends. You will be very satisfied that you made the most of your time and the homeschool activities you participated in. And you will be happy that you made sweet memories for your children, because friends are the best!<\/p>\n

Oto\u00f1o de 2020\/Dava Banner Imagen cortes\u00eda de: Averie Chapman Todos necesitamos amigos. Los amigos hacen que todo sea m\u00e1s divertido. Los buenos amigos a\u00f1aden riqueza a la vida. Los amigos de toda la vida son joyas, raras y especiales. Y ser amigo de familias enteras es una bendici\u00f3n adicional. Pero, \u00bfc\u00f3mo se pueden encontrar amigos as\u00ed en la comunidad de educaci\u00f3n en el hogar? Primero, d\u00e9jame decirte que tener amigos que no son educadores en el hogar es genial, pero es bueno tener educaci\u00f3n en el hogar en com\u00fan y tener horarios similares. Es bueno tener algo de tiempo libre para reunirse temprano en el d\u00eda. Nuestra familia a menudo reserva las noches, los fines de semana y los d\u00edas festivos para pasar tiempo en familia, por lo que queremos poder reunirnos con amigos durante la semana. La forma m\u00e1s f\u00e1cil de encontrar nuevos amigos es saludar. S\u00e9 quien hable con todas las mam\u00e1s que veas en reuniones y actividades. \u00bfRecuerdas cuando eras el nuevo y cu\u00e1nto deseabas ver una cara amiga? S\u00e9 esa cara amigable. T\u00fa puedes hacerlo y, lo m\u00e1s importante, puedes ense\u00f1ar a tus hijos a hacerlo. Saber saludar a las personas es una habilidad que ayudar\u00e1 a los ni\u00f1os en todas las etapas de la vida. Sus hijos recordar\u00e1n haber sido recibidos por una cara amigable y esto puede motivarlos a ser una cara amigable. Una vez que haya conocido a todos, comience a buscar a aquellos que desea conocer mejor. A menudo tenemos actividades de educaci\u00f3n en el hogar que permiten a las mam\u00e1s dejar a sus hijos. \u00a1Por favor no hagas eso! Qu\u00e9date y visita a otras mam\u00e1s. S\u00e9 que ser\u00eda bueno hacer recados, pero si lo haces, perder\u00e1s una maravillosa oportunidad de entablar amistades. Las mam\u00e1s que se visitan juntas durante una o dos horas seguidas pueden aprender mucho unas de otras mientras comparten informaci\u00f3n y experiencias. Podr\u00e1s averiguar qui\u00e9n tiene hijos similares a los tuyos. Puedes descubrir qui\u00e9n tiene valores similares y a qui\u00e9n le gustan actividades similares. Si es nuevo en el \u00e1rea, tambi\u00e9n puede obtener informaci\u00f3n sobre tiendas, m\u00e9dicos, clases e iglesias. \u00a1Y la mayor ayuda para m\u00ed, personalmente, es descubrir qu\u00e9 recetas nuevas les encantan! Compartir al menos una actividad semanal es muy \u00fatil para desarrollar una amistad. Tambi\u00e9n puedes hacer amigos en las actividades mensuales, pero probablemente te llevar\u00e1 m\u00e1s tiempo. Durante estas visitas tambi\u00e9n se pueden planificar salidas al campo. \u00a1Unirte a un par de familias m\u00e1s te ayudar\u00e1 a disfrutar a\u00fan m\u00e1s de una excursi\u00f3n! Planifique un d\u00eda en el parque, una caminata o comparta informaci\u00f3n sobre los d\u00edas de educaci\u00f3n en el hogar en el \u00e1rea. Tambi\u00e9n pueden hacer planes para asistir a otra actividad de educaci\u00f3n en el hogar esa semana o tal vez reunirse para almorzar o tener una cita para jugar. Muchas veces invitamos a otras familias a salir a tomar un refrigerio despu\u00e9s de una actividad, para prolongar el tiempo de visita e incluir a los ni\u00f1os. Los ni\u00f1os se conocen durante la actividad programada, por supuesto, pero las mam\u00e1s pueden observar la interacci\u00f3n a la hora de la merienda. \u00bfLa mejor confraternidad no implica la comida? Cuando usted sugiere d\u00f3nde ir, es considerado elegir lugares econ\u00f3micos. Cuando empieces a comunicarte con la gente, muy pronto esperar\u00e1s con ansias todas las reuniones. Ver\u00e1s a tus personas favoritas en todas las actividades. Usted y sus hijos ser\u00e1n amigos de familias enteras. Tendr\u00e1s una comunidad significativa de educaci\u00f3n en el hogar. C\u00f3mo te ayuda esto? Bueno, los ni\u00f1os realmente aprecian salir con amigos, especialmente en la adolescencia. Te alegrar\u00e1 conocer a sus amigos y las familias de las que provienen. Puedes compartir los dolores de crecimiento con tus amigas mam\u00e1s. Querr\u00e1s guiar a tus hijos para que sepan qu\u00e9 es importante en un amigo. Es posible que desees planificar u organizar eventos para chicos si tienes hijos. Ens\u00e9\u00f1eles a sus hijos que sus amigos son importantes para toda su vida. Disfrutar\u00e1 viendo a sus hijos compartir todos los eventos especiales de su vida con esos amigos. Disfrutar\u00e1s manteni\u00e9ndote en contacto con todas esas mam\u00e1s amigas. Estar\u00e1 muy satisfecho de haber aprovechado al m\u00e1ximo su tiempo y las actividades de educaci\u00f3n en el hogar en las que particip\u00f3. Y estar\u00e1 feliz de haber creado dulces recuerdos para sus hijos, \u00a1porque los amigos son los mejores! Dava Banner ha estado casado treinta y siete a\u00f1os y tiene tres excelentes hijos.
