Parenting Tips and Tricks

[sunnydays]

Get the young ones to help out with cooking! It kills two birds with one stone - you get assistance and the kids stay occupied. Give the children simple tasks like mixing the batter or shaping the meat patties for burgers. Kids usually love tasks that involve shaping and molding things.

You could also involve them in the planning of meals. Give them options within a healthy snack range and let them decide what goes into their lunch box for school the next day. It empowers them and encourages healthier eating habits when they feel they have some control over their meals. Win-win situation!

True that! Getting them to help out in the kitchen is a cool way to keep the young ones occupied. And you're right about the kick they get from tasks involving shaping and molding.

Gotta love how it encourages independence and gives them a sense of ownership over their meals too. Anything that gets them to eat their veggies these days is a win in our books!
