Finding other homeschoolers with whom you can exchange ideas and support is a key when embarking on this journey. I don’t know how we went so many years without this amazing asset. Now I can not imagine our lives without it.
There are tons of groups out there. With MeetUp, Facebook, and other social networking sites it seems the choices are endless. So with all of that, how do you find a group that fits you and your family?
I started by deciding what I was looking for. I needed a group with at least a few kids around my son’s age. There also had to be a good variety of events to choose from. Mostly I wanted to find a community that we could become part of, a place where we could both make friends.
Wake Forest Homeschoolers is that home for us. I am still a member of several other groups but this one is our home. I love the twice a year co-ops where my son can enjoy classes taught by other parents. The classes are usually fun and the five weeks seem to fly by.
At the end of the fall co-op we have a trunk-r-treat for the kids and even some of the parents dress up. I tell ya this has been so much fun. I can’t wait for this fall’s classes to start.
Finding a group of people you feel comfortable and safe with really is key.
