Letting my kids cook? |
Issue I got burned badly as a child, I was 9 years old, I was reaching over to turn the grill off and my dress caught fire. I am going to psychology and after talking about it my burn is really sore. I am now 43 so I do know it is psychological. I also never eat anything I cook as I get so anxious I can't face it. I find it hard to let my kids cook and the psycholgist feels this is wrong. My kids are 12 and 18 years old. What I want to know is if others feel I am being unfair to my kids by not letting them cook? Best Tip hi there, no you are not being unfair, you are just being overprotective, let them cook, if it makes you feel better tell them to use the back rings on the cooker, that way if they do lean forward as you did, the front rings are not hot. i can understand why you are so protective around the children with this being a bad experience with yourself, but do let them cook with your supervision until you feel better letting them cook by themselves. i hope this helps Yvonne Others I learned how to cook things by 12 already. When your 18 year old moves out, she/he will need to cook for him/herself. It's easier to learn in a supportive environment like the home. 18 year old should yo if they wana cook let them cook they have to learn this when they go out in the big wide world when they have a place of there own, they have to learn trial and error...it was your accident not theirs started to cook my own breakfast at age 10, oatmeal, pancakes, eggs,bacon, etc. Get over it, you had an accident, big deal. I was living on my own at 18 as are most college Freshman. Not allowing them to cook is insane! Letting your kids cook would be educational for them. Teach them never to touch the stove when its on. How to turn it on/off, the dangers of the stove/oven. What to do for minor burns, never to leave the stove unattended. You want them to be cautious, smart, and aware of these things. I wasn't allowed to touch the stove when I was under 12 years old but my parents did teach me one step at a time. They started with the toaster then microwave, then oven, then the stove came last. gee let them cook it is best that everyone knows how to cook. even children as young as 4 want to help cook |
