In this video my goal was to teach our Home Economics Students to begin paying attention for opportunities to help you (their parents who are their first teachers) in the kitchen. I taught your students the biblical, spiritual and social skill to as Ephesians 6:2 says “Honor your Father and Mother. This is the first commandment with a promise, that it may go well with you and that you may have a long life on earth.” At the end of the lesson, I specifically showed them how to make a overnight oats breakfast recipe we call “Apple and Date Cereal for the Teacher.” I encouraged them to make the recipe for you (their parents) if they thought you would enjoy it. I told them that if they did not think their parents would enjoy the cereal to try and observe what you like and if they didn’t observe anything to just plain ask you what you like. This should help give your child(ren) some ideas of how they can help you.
In the entrepreneurship curriculum called Lemonade to Leadership by Bonnie Bruce one of the chapters is dedicated to “Looking for opportunity.” Teaching kids to look for opportunities to help out their own parents in their own home is the first step to entrepreneurship or getting their first paid job outside the home.
I began by explaining to your student that when they are born their parents do everything for them. When they go to college or move out they will have to make the transition to doing more and more things for themselves. They have the opportunity to begin now while they are in 2nd-8th grade. I forgot to mention that younger & older children as well as adults can also benefit from learning these new recipes as well as the biblical, spiritual and social skills we are addressing.
