The goal of this activity

Cooking food is traditionally thought of as an activity that Mothers should do. A man cooks only if he is paid for it. This notion gets ingrained in the minds of the children at a very young age. After all, children are impressionable people and quickly adopt the behavior of the adults that surround them. Food is a fundamental need. Gender or parental role has nothing to do with it. The skill of cooking should be taught to children at a very young age. This will help them to have an appreciation for the stay-home parent ( that can be a woman or a man). Apart from this, allowing a child to create something that is useful, can boost his confidence. it can also allow children to know whether they like to cook. If a child has an interest in cooking, he/she may even consider it as a carrier option. Job satisfaction is highest when you convert your hobby into a profession. In the long run, the child will at least learn to cook for himself.
