Teaching Life Skills Through Cooking

Sit back and watch. See how they operate. This kid here requires a lot of mind games. . Am I the only one? 😂 . I’ve figured out that he will take on cooking projects if he has a recipe book or printed recipe. I have to make them accessible. I can’t just tell him to go online. And then he makes breakfast for everyone. Score! . . Strewing at its finest. Big kid style. . He’s hesitant to do his writing assignment but too stinkin’ stubborn to ask for help. I made sure I helped sister in front of him, so he could hear. Whatever I do, don’t pay attention when he’s writing. He would have stopped. . He won’t act interested in a book but will read it if it magically shows up in his room. Narration? I ask, “What’s going on in your book?” Or listen to him tell Daddy on his own later. . . Stick with it, Momma. It’s okay if you go about it differently. They’re still learning. . . And this afternoon? Adding non-alcoholic pina colada blending to his life lessons. He might just have to bribe friends in the future. . . PS: Keepin’ it messy and real. Just for you. 😂
