Some parents will hire a babysitter/guardian to watch over the kids or give the kids few bucks so that the kids can buy some food for themselves.  And most of the times, fast food will be their best choice for dinner.

Children should learn some basic cooking skills. They are responsible on their own diet and health. They must also keep a balance diet and absorbed suitable amount of nutritious, so that they can grow up healthy and strong. In Asia, most of the parents teach their children how to cook at a very young age, usually around age 6 or 8. The Japanese would like their girls to have master in domestic skills especially, cooking. The girls will learn the skill from their mother and the school curriculum. School will provide the cooking course and skilled teachers will give lesson to these students. They will learn how to cook, bake, and decorate their food.

What should the children learn to cook? We usually start the lesson with fry an egg. Then from fried eggs, the dish will upgrade to omelet with more ingredients added in. The children will also learn to cook easy fried rice or noodles. There are many easy recipes and method in the cooking, such as sandwiches, pizza, spaghetti, soup, and so on.

Learning cooking will make the children think creatively. Children can always use their imagination to create their own recipe and cook the food they like. At the same time, they will also learn to use or handle kitchen ware. With a proper guidance and practice, children will eventually be able to make their own food and be more independent.
