WHY I ALLOW MY YOUNG GIRLS TO PLAY WITH KNIVES AND FIRE
Why not, right?
As some of you have already noticed, sometimes @papa-pepper parents his @little-peppers in some slightly different ways. Today, I wanted to share a GIF with you all to help others understand why I allow my young girls to play with knives and fire. Hopefully, this will help others understand.
THE BLESSING OF KNIVES AND FIRE GIF
MY REASONING ON THE SUBJECT
Eventually, children will grow. Hopefully, by the time that they do grow, they will understand some things and even have some skills. Since children can enjoy learning real life skills, we encourage them to participate in daily activities as they have the opportunity.
Recently, we decided to surprise @mama-pepper with a cheesecake. We had to work quickly to avoid detection, which required group effort. In a supervised setting like this, cutting some butter with a knife or heating a skillet on a stove are within the capabilities of our older children.
Making a simple desert like this includes a lot of education too. we have to READ instructions and follow them accurately. We have to MEASURE and COUNT, and do the particular tasks IN ORDER too. Best of all, if we accomplish everything correctly, we have a delicious result and reward for our hard work.
Okay, maybe this post wasn't exactly what you were thinking it was going to be, but I do hope that you understand my point. Cheesecake is good!
As always, I'm @papa-pepper and here's the proof:

I understood you completely! If my parents didn’t let me “play with knife and fire” I wouldn’t be a foot cooker probably. Most of my age friends can make only sandwich... 😅 Unfortunatley “today’s parents” don’t let you touch nearly nothing. That is so sad 😢
I agree with you! Keep going 😊
P.s it was wrote by pedagog 😊
Thanks for the encouragement!
Parenting is just another investment and it’s clear you have your investments priorities in the right place...investing in your kids and their early understanding of tool/knife culture and investing in motivated people on steemit! No need to make either seems scary or elusive. Glad I finally got linked to your profile. Following along on your adventures with the pepper family clan. : )
What a cool comment! You're right about investments! Thanks!
I love this post. Thanks.

It's so important to get them involved, if for no other reason than to get them out of your hair, my little one wanted to play waiter tonight and set the table and carried out the food and called me "chef", it was great. Much better than being called "pee-pee poo-poo head"
"Chef" does sound better.
please be more vigilant
@papa-pepper, wow man, that .gif is so dope! I suppose it couldn't hurt though to tell the youngins not to run with knives. Girls are generally smarter than boys, probably wouldn't even need to.
Right, NO RUNNING!
With the correct supervision, I do agree with you that knives and fire can be safely taught and practice with at almost any age (besides infancy lol).
The earlier that younger children are taught to use these dangerous essentials, the safer they will be if they do ever use them by themselves. Great educational post for mothers and fathers that do have young children @papa-pepper!
I'm sure the cheesecake was delicious too :)
There is wisdom in that comment. A small child can only do so much damage with a knife, while older ones may cut fingers off.
From when my daughter was very young she she was told, "A sharp knife is a safe knife." She learned to respect things like knives and fire from very young.
All that being said, they grow up too fast :) She's 16 now.
Cheers,

That's right! SHARP is SAFE! Thanks @buckydurddle!
