Kids love to see what mom and dad are doing in the kitchen at all ages. When your kids are big enough- have them help out in the kitchen to make their own healthy food choices.
CBS just published an article talking about the benefits of kids learning how to cook may correlate to better food choices later in life:
"It is important to expose children to healthy foods in a positive way," said Derek Hersch, the lead author of the study who also works with a cooking education program called Food Explorers at the Minnesota Heart Institute Foundation. "Creating habits and behaviors at this age is the most important part of it."
