When I was a little girl my parents took me to the kindergarten. They were both working and instead of leaving me alone with the TV, they felt more comfortable knowing that I was more safe with teachers and other kids.
I have a friend who has a baby daughter, about 1,5 years old. The baby girl is mean with her parents, not listening. She's afraid to let her daughter to the kindergarten. Although she's an only child and her grandmother spoiled her too much, this friend is too afraid to let her on some stranger's hand.
Is better for a child to socialize with other kids in kindergarten? Or you wouldn't want your child to hang around other kids because he/she can get all sorts of childhood diseases?

Where I live it is a requirement that children attend kindergarten but, a parent can homeschool children. All of my children went to kindergarten and two of them went to pre-school. The two that went to pre-school are much more social than the one that did not go. I have also noticed that the two that went to pre-school are much better at playing with other children as well.

it would always be better to let the child socialize so she will know how to be with other people, plus the child will become selfless..and will also think of others and see how other kids are...isolating a child because of fear will not be good for the child because her world will be enclosed on just her world...so it would always be better to let the child be with other people..

This to me is not an option. Pre k is the starting point for public education outside the house for me. It is important that we allow our children to start learning and socilizing as early as possible instead of letting them face the box in the family room.
