If you have kids and live with your significant other you may be squinting your eyes at Valentine's Day this year...not sure what to make of it. In most parts of the world, a romantic dinner out is going to be difficult, or really cold, or just plain risky. So that leaves you home with the kiddos—again. Welcome to Valentine's Day 2024.
Since barricading the children in their rooms is frowned on by parenting experts, you may as well figure out how to rope them into the holiday, and get a little cooking help while you're at it. Have them assist you in the making of your Valentine's Day breakfast, dinner, dessert, plus anything sweet you plan on baking for the occasion. They can also take part in the planning of the V-Day menu, the serving of the meal and if you're luck, the washing of the dishes. Nothing says "I love you" more than a clean kitchen.
How helpful they can be of course depends on their ages and their comfort level in the kitchen. Getting your child to feel comfortable cooking pays dividends as they get older. So, whatever their age, get them in there, and give them tasks that make them feel purposeful and successful. And until you are confident that your child is adept at any assignment, supervise the heck out of them, especially when sharp tools and heat are part of the equation.
