Cooking together — a small real task
Parent and pre-schooler prepare a simple food item together. The child does real, age-appropriate work — stirring, pouring, tearing lettuce. Agent coaches the parent to give real jobs rather than fake participation, and to narrate collaborative steps. Observations track the child's ownership and the parent's tolerance for slower, messier work.
Free to do together whenever you like.
What you'll need
Pick something with 3-5 simple steps. Wash hands. Have your child on a safe step or at a low table. Have everything ready before starting.
