Although in this convenient era, living by take-away is not a big problem, after all, many people are the same, but this outbreak has made us start thinking about this problem. If we can't cook, we will only rely on instant noodles and fast food for a long time. Will it be malnourished? Therefore, it is suggested that children should be taught to cook if possible. He/she can do this occasionally, but he/she should be able to do it.

Teach children to cook? There are several reasons.

1, teaching children to cook is teaching them to make a living.

A survey of young people in Tianjin by an institution shows that 5 1.58% of young couples can't cook, 74.46% of young people will go to their parents' home for dinner after work, and 10% of young people will choose to eat takeout or go out. I was shocked to see such data. Nowadays, young people can cook so little.

It is hard to imagine that people who say such things will think that she is a 22-year-old adult. After her parents became seriously ill, she even lost the ability to take care of herself. She even blamed her seriously ill parents.

I saw a question on Zhihu before: "If you have one month left in your life, what is the most meaningful thing you can leave for your children?" There is an answer I like very much: teach her/him to cook a dish. Perhaps this is not to teach her/him to learn to cook a dish, but to convey a truth to her/him through this teaching process. Baby, you have grown up, you can cook by yourself, you can take care of adults as much as possible, and you have the ability to learn to take care of yourself.

Many people may feel that it is useless to teach a child seriously, and she/he can't remember it. Actually, it's not. Teaching children to cook is actually encouraging them to be independent, giving them a sense of identity and value, and knowing what success feels like. This scene is very meaningful to the child, and she will always remember it. Nowadays, neet people and giant babies are not uncommon, which is not only the sorrow of children, but also the sorrow of parents. We should teach them to cook, encourage them to be independent, and let children have the ability to live independently, because we can't take care of children for life.

Teaching children to cook is to teach them to be human.

Chu Diwen, winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics, once said: Cooking by hand can exercise one's concentration and problem-solving ability just like doing experiments. It is hard to imagine that a child who can only learn but can't even fry or boil eggs will know how to do experiments. Although I think this sentence may be slightly biased as an experimental metaphor, I agree that cooking by hand can train a person's concentration and problem-solving ability, and how to satisfy everyone who eats another meal can also be regarded as cultivating a child's emotional intelligence.

Indeed, from preparation to cooking, there are many problems to think about. First of all, purchasing ingredients needs to think about how to buy the best ingredients you need with limited funds, which is teaching children to establish their own financial quotient;

Secondly, if you want to decorate the scope of eating, what kind of things you can buy and how to put them, this is to cultivate children's aesthetic feeling; Finally, start cooking, the ingredients need to be processed, and in this process, children's hands-on ability can be exercised; Whether to cook first or cook first, pour juice first or bake bread now, this is to cultivate children's logical thinking ability; Children cook a meal, and there are really many things in it. If all this is mastered, is the child's life still poor?

3, rice, oil and salt is also a kind of growth and practice.

In an interview, Ada Choi generously said that she was teaching her daughter to cook. She said: Cooking is the simplest exercise, and it is normal to worry about children's injuries, but daily necessities are also a kind of growth and practice for children. Loving children does not care whether they are hungry on the surface, nor whether their physical needs are met, but whether their hearts are met.

Previously, a mother who relied on "kitchen parenting" became popular. She spent a lot of time remodeling the kitchen so that her daughter could see her cooking at any time. Under the influence of her mother, when she was 4 years old, her daughter would cut fruit with a knife and make some simple breakfast. When she was young, she was still an old hand at making coffee. Weigh about 10g coffee beans, grind them into fine powder, draw a spiral circle and inject water after the water boils, and the extracted coffee is unique and fresh. This picture is beautiful when you think about it. Maybe the child is too young to drink coffee. But what the mother can think of is that it is enough for the child to learn to enjoy life and understand the true meaning of life from the production process.

summary

Perhaps to some extent, cooking is not only to teach children basic survival skills, but also to their future happiness. In my opinion, teaching children to cook is not only related to independence and mastering life skills, but also related to teaching children to make a living and seek love, and teaching them that life is not easy. If you want your child to grow up quickly, let him cook.
