My son was involved in all the cooking and general housework as soon as he showed the slightest interest and over the years we had many happy hours in the kitchen together. Once he reached his teens he used to like experimenting and often I'd come home from work to find he had cooked up another intersting creation for us He turns 21 this month and still loves both cooking and also eating out It is worth taking the effort to get kids to eat a good range of healthy foods by getting them involved So true!

I was wondering awhile back why my kids just poked at their breakfast, and I really go out of my way to make good, healthy breakfasts. No cereal at my house! On a whim one morning I invited them to crack the eggs and help scramble them, and they devoured the stuff. Exactly - sometimes we forget how much kids WANT to help. It's in their nature. We need to encourage that. I've taken some great parenting classes at the Parent Encouragement Program (http://www.parentencouragment.org). -- Lynn This is so true.
