Ages ago, I found a website that sold model trees, felt grass with adhesive backing and I remember they had water putty stuff that was clear, but you could mold it to make it look like waterfalls, rivers, lakes, streams etc etc. I was wondering where I could get a putty/resin like that from a UK site?Thanks:)

Shielding them does make it worse. The question is how many of them are shielded? These home schooling moms will tell you that no home schooIed kids are ever shielded, and they're all socially active and stuff. There are ones who are shielded, but they just don't come on yahoo answers, and there is nobody to hear them. I honestly think these moms should pull their head from under a rock and stop being so fanatically devoted to home schooling; maybe acknowledge that homeschoolers aren't perfect little angels, and some home schoolers are in bad situations, just like any kid could be.
Shielding any child from the world is bad, but your mistake (and it's a huge one) is assuming that homeschooled children are automatically shielded from the outside world. They are not. Please take some time to actually read other questions and answers in this section before posting more questions.
After 11 years of homeschooling, and having met hundreds of homeschoolers, I have yet to hear of any of these hermits you are referring to. My daughter's public and private schooled friends are far more sheltered than she is. While my daughter is actually interacting with people of all ages in the outside world learning to make real outside world decisions that will affect her future, her friends are locked away in a room of similar aged children that can't even go to the bathroom without someone else's approval. That's not how the outside world works. And, stop trolling!
I totally agree that shielding any child from the outside world, whether this means keeping them cooped up in the house or cooped up in a classroom, is a terrible thing to do to your child. It's a good thing that homeschooling doesn't equate to keeping your child at home 24/7, and that most homeschoolers these days do not keep their kids locked up from the world.
