You teach your children how to talk, walk, play, dress up, do the right thing, say the right thing and a million other life skills.
Teach them how to cook, how to take care of themselves, how to feed themselves well. Before you know it, they will part from you and embark on their own journey, so make sure one of the gifts they can take with them is how to feed themselves healthily. Introduce them to the variety and abundance of fresh produce. Teach them the difference between fresh and processed food. Show them how to shop for food cleverly. Teach them basic cooking methods and techniques, how to use the right tool and how to store food. Like all the other things you teach them, they will turn it into a lifelong habit. Your bonus will be that your kids can also cook for YOU!!!
In the photo below is my darling Maya that luckily showed interest in cooking from an early age and turned out to be a fantastic and innovative cook. I’m confident she will feed herself well when she leaves for uni and till then she pampers us from time to time with her delicious, super healthy food.
Teaching my children how to cook and feed themselves well is one of my life missions
