I know that is not simple to cook with a child. But we could give him/her bit roles (not only in the kitchen). Children love roles! :-) Especially when we praise them.
Give them a chair, and some task. For examlpe measure some ingredients, or mix something, later we could give them obtuse knife to slice the carrot or something :-) What is the most important: TRUST them! They are so skillfull if we trust them. My children never hurt themself although they "help" :-) me in the kitchen from the age 2. Of course we have to pay attention! But later they are able to do everything "alone" as well. AND cooking with a teenager is very funny and full of happiness. They have their own opinion and ideas. What well proves they are going to be independent, have more and more skills for life.
Why is it good to involve children into cooking?
1. They are not bored while we are cooking. (And Mom will be happy)
2. They have better appetite :-)
3. They will love cooking.
4. People who love cooking have more control on their life.
5. If we cooked with children they would trust us more, and would accept all of our advice in many areas of their life :-)
6. Eat the meal what we cooked together increases the coherence :-)
So cooking with children is very useful activity to look on the future as well.
With love
