"So much to do and so little time." We have all heard or said this at
one time or another. We struggle to balance work, family, errands, and all the other
everyday tasks. This is often at the expense of meals and family time.
Preparing family meals together provides more opportunities for family interaction
and fun than simply sitting at the table together. In some cases, involving
children in the food prep can be time consuming and messy. But not involving them
can lead to children, when they are adults and on their own, who don't know what
to do in a kitchen or how to read a recipe. Children can help by selecting and washing
the fruits and/or vegetables for a salad, mixing the salad, or setting the table.
Children of all ages enjoy eating more when they have been involved in the
food and meal preparation.
