In today’s episode I am going to give you seven incredibly easy two minute tasks that your children can do in the kitchen, for when you want them to learn some skills but don’t have time to cook with them.
I meet a lot of parents at school events and when I am out and about selling my
books and activity boxes and at basically every event one of them says
something to the effect of how they know they should cook with their young
kids, or teach their older kids to cook, but they never get to it and they find
it super stressful, and they feel guilty about it.
In the episode I talk about why you shouldn't feel guilty about not cooking every week with your children, two ways of tackling it in a different way, and seven key skills that children can learn in two minute no pressure shots of helping.
