On Cooking in the Kitchen: Give your preschooler a peeler

Give a child meaningful work to do. "Here, Daniel. Please take this camping chair to the garage." I could have taken it myself, but giving him the task makes him feel special, provides a learning experience, and enhances the bond between us."

Let's not let our children grow up in isolation. Let's allow them to be around us, so they can imitate us, hang with us. Cooking in the kitchen? Give your child a carrot and a dull peeler and have him have at it. -gw
