[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just for safety issues, well that & liability issues as well..... While I may let my own child bake w/supervision - as the caretaker of a young child, I just wouldn’t want to risk it. As both a Mother as well as a Nanny, I can say firsthand that I do not always let my Nanny kids do the same things that I let my own children do. I am sure others do the same.[/quote] If the kids slowly gain independence in the kitchen and with chores, they can be (almost) independent by 8yo. By 10-12 (depending solely on strength), they’re ready to cook elaborate meals and handle any routine household cleaning, ordering, etc. No, I wouldn’t ask a 10yo to fix my toilet; I would make sure the 10yo had their phone out to read directions, was capable of using the tools and did it with me.[/quote]
