Cook a meal together.
Cooking a meal with your child has a number of advantages. Some of the skills that can be learned from cooking include:
Reading skills: Ask your child to read the recipe and explain to you what they are in need of (from ingredients to tools).
Math skills: Allow your child to do the measurements for the recipe. This will focus on their math skills
Communication: Communication skills are increased because you are engaged in an active conversation with your child.
Healthy Eating: Just because you have invited your children to cook doe not mean that you have to make cookies. Check out your recipes and look for something healthy that you are sure your children will like.
Confidence: Being in the kitchen and accomplishing a full meal gives the child a sense of confidence that they may not have had before. Allow your students to come up with menus based on what they like to eat.
