Kids need social interaction on a daily basis when their that young.
Its when they learn from thier environments, and if thier just around the parents only they will not grow up to make a choice of how to be, but only by how they were directly taught.

I really hate when people make this comment because its obvious they dont know the first thing about "home schooling" My child has been taught this way since she was 4 years old, I live outside Atlanta and our county has a great home school association, where all the kids get together and do things on a regular basis, they even have their own "showcase" each year where they have recitals, cookoffs and such. She interacts with other kids almost everyday of the week with her music classes, ballet classes, sports groups and church.
She is now 10..she just took her Iowa basic skills test and placed in the top 2% of the nation and for what would typically be 5th grade work she placed on the same level with 9th graders. I was worried that I would not be able to educate my own child but I have not only put that worry aside, I can be proud that I know my child IS getting a good education.
Homeschooling USED to be non-social, but no more, I wish those of you that make statements like that would take the time to know what really goes on in the life of some homeschooled children.
