She ended up rolling more egg rolls than I did! Her interest in being in the kitchen and helping out has only grown over the years. I'm sure Henry will find a place where he's interested in taking part. Sometimes it starts with giving them a piece of whatever it is that you're making and they can mush it around and make it all their own. If things don't go too crazy, it should still cook up just fine one way or another and they can have the pleasure of eating something that <em>they</em> made. I find it's important to praise and show gratitude for each part they help with. The hardest part for me is letting go (a little) of my usually strict kitchen habits and acknowledging that a little measuring error here and there or going easy on specific techniques is <strong>no big deal</strong>. If it ends up being horrible, the worst that happens is that you'll have to go grab take-out. You'll all learn from it, and if you can all have some fun it was worth the time you spent <em>together</em>. She generated her own interest. I never thought she’d get into it as much as she did.

Henry baked bread with me today and he lost interest about halfway through. He's a week short of five. How do you keep your child's interest through the whole process? Cool post.
