The kitchen is also an important place for babies to explore. For many children, the kitchen is even the most fun place in the house. Pots and pans, rice noodles, oil and salt, bottles and jars, in the eyes of children, the kitchen is simply a small playground, especially children who have very strong imitation abilities. They see their parents using shovels, pots, and cutting in the kitchen. They are very busy cooking, and their interest in helping in the kitchen is increasing day by day. However, many parents ignore this, or simply prevent their babies from entering for safety reasons. In fact, letting children help in the kitchen is a good opportunity for education. Babies can learn a lot by participating in making food, which is of great benefit to their growth. The first level: Little observer’s five senses training, stimulating the baby’s perception ability. When the baby is 1 year old, parents guide the baby to learn to observe and introduce to him the taste, nature, color, touch, smell and feelings after eating, etc. of food.

These can greatly enrich the baby\’s senses, produce beneficial stimulation to the brain, and stimulate the baby\’s perception and memory abilities. It should be noted that at this stage, you need to take the trouble to guide the baby, whether it is language or behavioral imitation, only after repeated many times will the baby remember it.

You can give your baby a piece of dough to knead when making pasta, and encourage your baby to make various shapes, such as puppies, mice, flowers, etc. When baking, let your baby do it by himself, choose different cookie molds, and make cookies and bread of different shapes. You can also make creative rice balls with your baby, make vegetable platters, etc. Older children can also decorate the table with their mother, choose tableware, and coordinate and decorate the color, taste, eating habits, smell and shape of the dishes. Level 4: The Little Nutritionist’s all-round knowledge connection ability training on nutrition, food traditions, etc. can help 3 to 5-year-old babies understand more nutritional knowledge.

For example, you can tell your children that tomatoes and green leafy vegetables are rich in vitamin C, which can make the skin whiter and more beautiful. Eating pork liver once a week can have good eyesight and prevent anemia. Drinking mung bean soup in summer can prevent nosebleeds and other common sense in daily life. You can also explain to children the origins of various foods, such as different plants that grow in different seasons, and different festivals with different legends and food traditions. In this way, the baby will know that winter isIt’s the season to eat oranges, but you can’t eat too much because he knows that “eating too many oranges will cause you to get angry and cough.” The fifth level: the training of social rules and emotional intelligence training for little socializers.
