Ep 199. Raising Kitchen Confident Kids - with Asta Mail

As a parent (or grandparent) of young kids, do you often wonder how to foster more curiosity in the kids about the world around them? Or find activities that reduce that default daily screen time?

Easy ways to explore nature, the garden, parks and beaches, plus getting kids to be excited about life and experiences.....that's what we're discussing today.

Thought provoking and entertaining, this discussion with our guest Asta Mail helps to bring forth ideas and strategies to get the kids to find the magic in everyday experiences and increase their self confidence and resiliency in basic life skills like cooking.

Asta Mail is a marine biologist, child and youth educator, and mom of two. Today, we discuss helping to get kids in the kitchen and excited about creativity with food and cooking.
