About this episode
Everyone asks, “But what about socialization?”
Usually, they mean: Will your child have friends?
But sometimes they’re asking something much bigger:
Without school, who will teach your child how to fit in?
And that raises a question we rarely stop to ask:
What kind of socialization are children actually getting at school—and is all of it something we want to recreate?
Because spending every day with same-age peers doesn’t teach children only how to make friends. It also teaches them about popularity, conformity, peer pressure, and where they’re expected to fit in.
In this episode, Sue untangles socializing, social skills, and socialization—and explains why they’re not interchangeable.
You may never answer the socialization question the same way again.
