I honestly can say …..
I KNOW WHAT you are GOING through when it comes to having your kids at home 24/7..
It’s been years and years since I have lived with a tween.
I have argued with her, raised my voice and just simply been EXHAUSTED, living with this small active human, my 8-year-old Goddaughter Seaenah ….
The demand is real…
She wants my attention when she feels fit.
She is hungry alllllll day.
And she argues with me over and over, about stupid shit that just makes me feel like saying “just go away”…
And then there is cooking…and along with the family kitchen there is Seaenah, right there wanting to give it a good crack.
If we are going to bring a culture of cooking into our lives, we need to bring our kids into the kitchen.
And if we really want to survive in this world we MUST teach our kids how to cook.
Let them play with the flour and the eggs. Allow them to measure a cup of the milk or oil.
Let them stir the batter. And make a mess.
Let them sit in front of the oven to witness how simple ingredients like flour and water and sugar can turn in to the yummiest cookies.
Kids are like a sponge. They absorb everything.
Let us allow them to experience the wonderful world that is called the kitchen.
Soak them in there as frequently as you can, until they learn that cooking is an ordinary daily part of life.
If I don’t show Seaenah how to cook then I have lost my knowledge and what’s the point of having the experience and knowledge if I don’t pass it on.
This is a moment in time to be able to cook with Seaenah throughout the day….and I genuinely believe that if I can sit back and allow her to scoop out the ingredients and make a massive mess with food, she is learning how to survive in this world
