[blparent] teaching methods

[Veronica Smith]

Well, what I was asking was how other parents do it, not necessarily for me
but for others.  Gab is a good cook, she really doesn't need any guidance
except for her crazy creating, but there are other parents here with
children getting to that age bracket and I thought if some of us shared our
techniques, they too could believe that they are good teachers.  I know
someone on this list who left, because we didn't really guide her, but told
her how to do it.  What she was looking for was examples of how we, the
blind, do something.  
Example:  changing a diaper.  Sounds easy enough for some but hard as a rock
for others.  What we could say,  I lay my daughter on the floor or changing
pad.  I then unstick the velcro on each side, pull the front of the diaper
away from my baby while lifting her legs with my other hand.  I then folded
the diaper upon itself and pulled it away from my baby.  I took a wipie or a
handful, which ever floats your boat,  wipe here and there and between this
and that, then I slide the clean diaper under.  At this point I have decided
whether or not to slather on ointment and I do it here.  Anyway this is the
kind of stuff she was looking for.   Like in the kitchen, a blind parent
would say, well when I make Brownies, I take a medium sized bowl down and
pour in my Brownie mix.  I find out how much water and eggs and oil go in
and then add them one at a time.  Then with a wooden spoon I stir round and
round. When I think it's done, I scoop it up with a large metal spoon into
the pan.
Or I say, when it is done and Gab and I have made a total mess stirring
round and round, we take turns spooning it into the pan.
 
Because we are goodat what we do, we forget that some parents are just
starting out and don't have a clue how this or that is done.

V,
What exactly are you asking? Are you asking how to read recopies?
Can you start with something simple with no pressure so that she won't fell
ike she has to get it right if she wants dinner that night?
I've gotten some great tips from the list you run. So thank you for that. I
guess that's why Idon't understand what you're asking.

But how do you teach your child to cook?

I use the side of the bowl as well. Makes cracking the egg easier, making
halving the egg easier, and I get no shells in my ex.

I crack the egg on the side of the bowl instead of the edge of the counter
and just hold it carefully to make sure the shells don't get in the bowl. It
usually works. I usually don't have tiny pieces of egg shell in my food. But
my mom sometimes does and she can see. But it's usually just one tiny piece
of shell.
