Cooking shows taught me a lot and then being willing to make mistakes. The first time I tried to make biscuits and gravy we had to toss the whole thing in the trash. It's part of learning and I think it was good for my kids to see that too. I laughed and apologized for ruining breakfast and said I'd do better next time. Now it's just something we can look back on and I use as a reminder that you can't expect perfect results on your first attempt at something.
