My boys are 9 and 11 now. First thing this morning, the first day of Feb. vacation, I started right in on baking bread for a potluck. At the same time, they come waltzing in the kitchen asking for pancakes. I said, "Sure, you can make it yourself." And they did. Start to finish. I was busy with my own ingredients and before I knew it they were getting the pan ready! I only watched and prompted my older one to flip them. That's it! All those years of baking/cooking with them has paid off. They enjoy the process. They enjoy the results.
Seeing your children succeed in the kitchen is a great reward. Well done! ~Amy
