Watching your little ones, mixing, measuring, trying to make shapes is entertaining within itself.

Cooking with kids takes patience but you learn that kids really are quite capable of doing a lot, all by themselves. Children’s culinary skills gradually improve. It is part science, part creativity, and part just amazing and then you can eat it too. You can train your kids, instead of playing with the play dough, play with the cookie dough, its more fun, tasty and safe to eat.

Kitchen is a classroom, where kids practically learn and top of them all creativity and new imagination. Not to mention reading comprehension, sequencing, and one of my favorites, following directions.

Kids love to eat whatever they cook, somehow it always tastes nice. Teach your kids cooking and eating healthy food from childhood, it will control their desire for junk food and limit their reliance on vending machines at school.

Cooking is a tasty and tangible way for kids to express their creativity. Children experience success, independence, and increased self esteem when they put dinner on the table or when they have a hand in preparing the food on the table.

While kids help you in the kitchen, teach them, where the food comes from, what benefits it has for our bodies, explain the medicinal properties of the spices, fruit and vegetables.

Cooking together is also a quality time spent together, its proven cooking together means dining together means family time.

Kids become your friends, it than allows healthy conversations in the family and you will be in control of the situation before anything happens because you already have all the information by conversations.

Eventhough brain development starts early in the pregenancy but its only partially developed at birth. Billions of nerve cells or neurons are developed prior to birth but they are not connected. The development of a person’s brain happens most rapidly during the first three years of life as neural connections are developed between these neurons. Development of these connections, dictate a person’s intelligence. Neural connections are formed by looking, listening and feeling activities. Early experiences can have a dramatic impact on the brain’s wiring process causing the final number of connections in the brain to increase or decrease by as much as 25%. The activity that most effectively develops neural connections is direct interaction between adults and children and children and children through play. Direct interaction helps in developing all four major learning domains,Cognitive, Social, Personal and Imaginal. Everyday can be a day full of learning opportunities for children if parents and caregivers seize opportunities in the routine to teach lessons. Everyday routines such as bathing, dressing, meal preparation, eating, cleaning, sorting laundry and making beds can be a great activity and learning experiences for kids.
