Make Cookies with One Child

Spend time in the kitchen teaching one child how to make cookies. Note the behavior and any difficulties. Celebrate the accomplishments!

Make Cookies with Many Little Helpers

Have a "cookie adventure" with many little ones. Encourage cooperation, sharing and listening skills. Make it a cookie party!

Encourage them to explore The World

Kids learn and grow through hands-on experiences. Play is the work of children. New places, new foods and new people are opportunities for them to learn about the world. Kids love having fun, getting messy and expressing themselves!

"If you want to bring happiness to the whole world, go home and love your family."
- Mother Teresa

An activity like making pancakes, or even mud pies, together offers you and your child the opportunity to practice effective communication skills and playful interactions. These two components are necessary to help ensure the ultimate goal of quality connection.

"I’ve read parenting books. Lots of parenting books. They all seemed to have the same perspective, show your child who the boss is and be consistent. I didn’t feel like I had practical tools I could put into practice on a daily basis. That all changed during a session of with Meagan. By observing her interaction and activity with the kids, I was able to gain actual techniques I could use right away. Communication, boundaries, and working together! What I thought would be another book ending ended up being very transformative in my perspective on parenting. It’s about communication and relationship. Both I’m enjoying seeing grow every day with my boys."

bond with your child through baking

An activity like making cookies allows children an opportunity to practice making healthy choices, explore their senses, and expand their palate.

Time spent together in the kitchen is the perfect environment in which to sharpen listening skills, observe interaction and model positive behaviors to your child.
