When I was in high school I had some neighbors that were homeschooled. They were nice and incredibly smart... but sort of odd. Their dad was sort of an authoritarian type and they fell right under his commands. Was very strange to be 16 and know other people my age that more or less worshiped their parents, LOL.

I don't know if that's across the board or not... but I definitely don't think it's healthy for parents to be around there tween/teen kids that much and vice versa. For the very small kids, "maybe" it's okay... but you would really need to push the social group aspect so they can meet other kids.

Is your ICQ broke?
