Cooking made easy<\/strong><\/p>\nRegardless of the individual, we all tend to have a favorite meal. So, what does your child love to eat the most?<\/p>\n
What\u2019s one recipe, which your child will eat again and again?<\/p>\n
Whatever your answer, it\u2019s time to enter the kitchen and cook together.<\/p>\n
Within the family, one of the best ways to build a strong bond arrives through cooking. From beginning to end, go through the entire process of preparing a meal together.<\/p>\n
If possible, make sure to choose a recipe where you\u2019re both participating equally, or you can even opt for a recipe where your child is doing most of the work. By applying either decision, you\u2019re less likely to choose a complex recipe. After all, the aim is to have your child participate versus standing back idly.<\/p>\n
As you arrive at the last step of your recipe, your child is bound to learn beneficial skills such as listening and even mathematics.<\/p>\n
Versus something complex as well as random, why is it important to opt for a simple and favorite recipe? Since the aim is to keep your child\u2019s attention, you want to offer a reason to remain actively involved.<\/p>\n
For this reason, it\u2019s best to choose a dish, which your child enjoys. The more interested a child feels, this state is likely to lead to his or her active involvement in the kitchen.<\/p>\n
Likewise, the more complex the instructions, this is likely to lead to less participation, but it\u2019s also prone to erode your child\u2019s attention. If you can offer recipes with images, this will benefit your child if said child leans more in the direction of visual learning.<\/p>\n
As mentioned before, please keep this as simple as possible, and that also includes how you communicate in the kitchen. In other words, it\u2019s not simply the recipe itself, which you should make simple.<\/p>\n
Separate from a simplified recipe, your child should easily understand how you direct him or her in the kitchen. Remember, the aim is build a bond, and you cannot do this if your child is uninterested, doesn\u2019t understand your directions, and isn\u2019t having any fun.<\/p>\n
Throughout the entire process, make hygiene a priority. During this coronavirus epidemic, cooking is not the time to show improper procedures. On the contrary, this is precisely the place to show proper hygiene.<\/p>\n
In terms of correct hygiene, this includes habitually washing your hands when necessary, cleaning off utensils and countertops, etc.<\/p>\n
