Seven cooking skills for kids, that they can learn in batches of two minutes or less

from Food For Kids

In today’s episode I am going to give you seven incredibly easy two minute tasks that your children can do in the kitchen, for when you want them to learn some skills but don’t have time to cook with them.I meet a lot of parents at school events and when I am out and about selling my books and activity boxes and at basically every event one of them says something to the effect of how they know they should cook with their young kids, or teach their older kids to cook, but they never get to it and they find it super stressful, and they feel guilty about it.In the episode I talk about why you shouldn't feel guilty about not cooking every week with your children, two ways of tackling it in a different way, and seven key skills that children can learn in two minute no pressure shots of helping out.Blog post on what foods to use to teach knife skills: https://www.100daysofrealfood.com/kids-basic-knife-skills/Video on how to teach your child the bridge technique: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXc8XvP6-ksVideo on how to teach your child the claw grip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJObOiRK4YwMy food familiarity course: https://thefoodiesbooks.com/food-familiarity-course/The seven skills are:StirringPeelingGratingChoppingSpreadingPicking up with tongsMeasuringMusic "Happy Days" by Simon Folwar via Uppbeat
