359. Teaching Your Teen to Cook with Katie Kimball
Time management, planning, cooking. These are fundamental life skills that we don't get taught in school, and if we're honest, not always at home either. Today I'm bringing back one of my favorite guests to talk about the one we haven't covered yet: teaching teens how to actually cook, not just survive on cereal and takeout.
Katie Kimball has been teaching families how to cook for 17 years, and she just launched an entire new program built specifically for teens. I wanted her back on the show because this conversation goes somewhere I didn't expect. We don't just talk about recipes. We get into why teens need a completely different approach than little kids, what to do if you think your teen already missed their window, and the mental health payoff that comes from a teen knowing they can actually feed themselves.
In This Episode, I'll Cover:
- Why it's never too late to start, even if your teen has never touched a stove.
- The three things every teen needs before they'll actually take over in the kitchen, and what happens when you skip one.
- What cooking has to do with your teen's anxiety.
- How to know if your teen is ready to go solo in the kitchen, or if they need you standing beside them first.
