Today is Kids Take Over the Kitchen Day,

which to parents must seem a nightmare,

letting their little darlings do what they want,

will lead to a mess everywhere.

If we let them make the family meal,

even with adult supervision,

it gets them involved in household routine,

and also helps them learn about nutrition.

This idea came from the Young Chefs Academy, it is to encourage children of all ages to take over the kitchen and start planning and preparing the meals for the day, some may need adult supervision for this. This exercise also helps children to learn about nutrition and healthy eating as well as building up their self esteem, remember to praise their efforts, no criticising.
