Being a single parent can make it difficult to find time to spend with the kids because of jobs, school, chores, and activites, but everyone needs to eat, which makes cooking a really great way to spend time with the kids, teaching them, listening to them about what they are doing at school, and building strong foundations for the parent-child relationship that can last through the years as children become adults.
Disney Family Fun is a great website with ideas for activities that cultivate strong family relationships. Whether looking for a great family activity on Friday night, or trying to get the children interested in cooking, Disney Family Fun has ideas for children of all ages. For parents who are not sure about how to get your children started cooking or even if they are ready, Disney Family Fun also extends a helping hand with "Teaching Kids to Cook" by Rebecca Lazear Okrent.
