Homeschooling, the practice of educating children outside of traditional school environments, has seen a marked increase in popularity in recent decades. While studies on academic outcomes have been widely explored, the psychological impact of homeschooling remains under-researched. This paper reviews existing literature and empirical studies to investigate the psychological effects of homeschooling on children. Focusing on, self-esteem, emotional development, and behavioral outcomes, we analyze both the positive and negative consequences of homeschooling. Additionally, the study explores factors such as parental involvement, social networks, and curriculum flexibility, which influence the psychological well-being of homeschooled children. The review concludes by suggesting potential areas for future research and policy implications for families, educators, and mental health professionals.
