According to Retter:
- Learning to cook has a cool factor that it didn’t used to have. This is evidenced through shows like Chopped Junior, Kids Baking Championship and Rachael vs. Guy: Kids Cook Off. (Like our very own Northshore Chopped Junior winner, Emily Roche, who has inspired lots of kids, including Miss Grace, to up the ante on their basic cooking skills).
- Teaching your kids to cook their own meal, at their own private cooking station, designed for their size will allow them to not only learn how to cook, but how to take ownership and responsibility to create something, they can be proud to show their family. (Even if you don;t have the extra space for a Rookie Chef counter, why not designate a section for them? Miss Grace has her own drawer, with kid size cooking items, like chopping board and knife, that she knows how to use and will grab them to cook!)
Cooking in the summer is great because it keeps kids indoors on those blistering hot days (hello, the South is an OVEN right now, we won't go out unless we have to!), but it also keeps them active, and away from the television or video games.(and that is a good thing indeed!).
Plus cooking can help kids work on their math skills too, with using fractions to divide ingredients! Not to mention working those creative brain muscles!
Cooking allows kids to become empowered and creative, to take ownership and pride in their work. Remember, cooking is a learning process for your kids – their cake may not turn out, they might burn your food, it’s ok. Perfection is not required. This learning process is a great opportunity to spend time teaching them important life lessons!
So what do you think about Vanessa's tips?

The CDC sites in an article that the majority of dangers kids face during the summer months are caused by a lack of supervision outside (I know what you're thinking, how did WE survive childhood, LOL). By spending time teaching kids in the kitchen, parents put their children in a better position to reduce those dangers.
