[blparent] teaching methods

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

My daughter sometimes likes to do simple things with me in the kitchen like 
adding ingredients to a recipe or stirring her own chocolate milk.  She's 
not advanced enough to flip a fried egg because at four, I don't let her 
near the stove.  I've never been very good at doing eggs myself, except 
scrambled or boiled, so fried eggs are usually reserved for when Dad cooks 
or we go out to eat.  I tried to teach her to crack an egg into a bowl, but 
I guess she wasn't quite ready for that.  At first she wasn't tapping the 
egg on the edge of the counter hard enough to break it, and when I told her 
to do it a little harder, man did she bang it!  I got egged in a very big 
way.  Egg all down the front of my shirt, in my hair, dripping off my nose 
even.  You wouldn't think there was that much goo in such a small thing as 
an egg, but that was a moment made for the video camera.

I am somehow less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's 
brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and 
died in cotton fields and sweatshops.--Stephen Jay Gould

Hello, I know that I am not the only mom or dad here that teaches our
children to cook.  I want to know some of your methods when teaching your
kiddos how to do this or that in your kitchens.  Gab had to learn to flip a
fried egg on her own, I cannot do it to save my life!
