Either way it doesn't matter...it just isn't done enough!Teach them early and you will not regret it!My children helped me in the kitchen as soon as they showed ability to stir with a spoon and pour from a measuring cup! I would narrate the process and explain all the, "Why?"'s and I was sneaking in lessons and they were learning before they even noticed! Best bonus, we had a lot of fun, too! :) Teaching your children is SO important and unfortunately is completely missed many times in our current society either by neglect or necessity.

If one is lurking about they get to pitch in, but if all 3 are hovering I tend to reduce the fighting by doing it myself. Pizza night is an exception, they all get to top their own pizzas. The 6yo is starting to have jobs related to meal prep and clean up. I started seriously teaching my stepdaughter when she turned 8 and it seemed to fit her attention span and coordination. It's worked for us. In all honesty, I’m not always great about letting the kids help.

But I've been trying to cook with my daughter more.She's 2 and a half and loves playing in her toy kitchen. So, from time to time, we've been hauling the step-stool into our kitchen and getting her involved in the process. Sure, the food might take longer than just doing it myself, but it's amazing to watch her learn this way.Today, pizza dough. Once it's ready (in the bread machine) she will also get to help me punch it down and decorate the pies! Well, it’s not so fearless, really. But I’ve been trying to cook with my daughter more.
