And finally, listen to your children. Making your children cook foods they don’t like could cause them to cook out of anger, become careless in the kitchen, and in the end get seriously hurt.

If one of your children shows enthusiasm when you ask him to help bake a cake, stir up a batch of cookies, or knead dough but enters the kitchen kicking and screaming at the mention of helping you cook meat or a side-dish, don’t force him to cook the meal—not yet anyway. Sometimes, children need to start off doing what they love in the kitchen and then graduate into cooking other food items. If you push too hard, you could turn your child off of cooking forever.
