So look for something like this.  [b]I'm surprised, given how worried you are about her, that you didn't make more of an effort to encourage this.[/b]  If she likes cooking and baking, that's great--they are important life skills; teach things like attention to detail, following directions, planning a project, etc.; and can be great outlets for creativity.  Check the Food Network web site to see if they have similar activities.  Involve your daughter in planning and cooking meals and treats for the family.  Maybe look for a kids' cooking class she could try.  [/quote]

You're right.  I'm not blameless here. It's hard to fit everything in (DH and I both work FT) and sometimes worrying takes over the part of my brain that could be doing things like figuring out how to encourage her to bake/cook. [b] It's time for me to wrap my head around looking at this from a more positive perspective and see it as a way to get closer to her.[/b]  [/quote]

This.  If your daughter is having a hard time finding her niche, then it might involve a little more heavy lifting on your end, but it's also an opportunity.  Plus, how awesome would it be for your family if she liked to cook?[/quote]
