Spending time in the kitchen with your younger children can help them feel needed, while encouraging them to eat healthy. Most kids want to at least try the vegetables they helped to cut. As your children get older, having them know how to cut and chop veggies for soups and stews can really be a huge time saver.
Kids may not always do a perfect job, but practice makes perfect. This is a great time to encourage your child's heart while teaching them how to prepare healthy meals for the family.
My nieces often help me out in the kitchen. You're definitely right. The food that they make is more likely to be eaten by them. What is your opinion on having kids help out by making their school lunches with you?
