Parenting Gone Wrong–An Answer for Kaye

For those of you who are just jumping in, you may want to take a moment and peruse the other blogs in this discussion between Kaye, one of our education bloggers, and I.

She asked so many questions in fact, it took me three blogs to answer them all! Her final questions pertain however, to the question of socialization: How do my kids meet friends, learn to get along with others, make good friendships, etc. if they are home all the time.
