Food Savvy Kids - strategies to encourage cooking with children and teenagers

Advice for parents… 8 tips to help your teen cook

After talking to lots of teens these eight tips seem to be the sentiment of most of them!! I know it sounds almost precocious when written or spoken – but it certainly helps us as parents if we know what they are thinking! Claire shares the eight tips to encourage uptake of easy recipes for kids.
1. Let me choose what I cook
2. Get me a recipe that works
3. Have all the ingredients
4. Stay out of the kitchen
5. Resist ‘you should have’ comments
6. Be impressed
7. Don’t nag
8. Cut me a deal!
