Most children love to work in the kitchen.
During this time of being restricted to our homes, we have more time to think. Perhaps we think about what we could be doing, or what we would like to be doing. And before you know it, you are thinking about what to eat again.
Yes, food and mealtimes have been a cause of concern for many. What will we eat? Do we have enough food? How do we fix what we have?
I feel it is especially important for children to, first of all, have enough food to eat, and then to encourage an interest in eating healthy and cooking. They have more time now with school being out and can provide their help in the kitchen with preparing food. Often they just need suggestions on ways to help. Others are enthusiastic go-getters who will surprise and inspire you.
Perhaps children will even learn how important it is to know how to cook. They can also become more aware of how important food is their life and that of their family and friends.
Most children love to work in the kitchen.
From an early age children want to help with mixing and stirring. They can set the table. They can measure ingredients. Depending on their age, there is a long list of jobs they can do that would help get food on the table.
Am I suggesting that people do actually sit around a table with food? And have a regular mealtime? This is a wonderful tradition that has been neglected for too long. This might be a good time to instill it again.
I’ve been putting together a book bundle for kids and families—one they can use immediately to help them eat healthy. These ebooks and physical books help kids learn to cook and to be mindful of healthy eating.
We have published cookbooks and other children’s books for many years. Now we are offering a special bundle for children and their families. It is especially important in this period of making sure we use our time usefully, appropriately, and healthfully.
Stay tuned until next time when I reveal what others have already said about this product and exactly how and when you can get it. Until next time…
