We generally cover health, wellness, and safety throughout the course of our regular day, seizing the moment as opportunities arise. For example, when we had pancakes (yes, for dinner) the other night, S announced that he wanted to help make them. Fine! I showed him how, and he set to work. Of course, where you find S, T is not far behind. So, I had two chefs at work.
S carefully showed T how to pour in the batter, and how to flip the pancakes. T watched attentively, his sleeve coming ever closer to the danger zone around the stove burner. A-ha! Perfect chance to talk -- and more importantly at the time! -- to act on the importance of keeping clothing away from the burner. Crisis averted. Safely lesson imparted. Yummy pancakes consumed.
