Cooking is a branch of education which has the most direct influence upon human life. Young women think that it is menial to cook and do other kinds of housework. For this reason, many girl who marry and have the care of families have little idea of the duties devolving upon a wife and mother.
Teach your children on how to cook. In giving your children in physiology, and teaching them how to cook with simplicity and yet with skill, you are laying the foundation for the most useful branches of education.
Mother should take their daughters into the kitchen with them when very young, and teach them the art of cooking. She should instruct them patiently, lovingly, and make the work as agreeable as she can by her cheerful countenance and encouraging words of approval.

The importance of the mother’s role should be recognized. One of those roles is as gatekeeper for food purchases and food-related activities.
Here are some tips that may help:
-
Establish rules and guidelines for shopping. Children need to know ahead of time what is expected of them. Let them know what you consider acceptable behavior while shopping.
-
Shop from a list. Shopping from a list makes it easier to say no to spur-of-the-moment requests. Prepare the list ahead of time by taking an invetory of the food you have on hand and by anticipating the items you will need for the next meals.
-
Involve the children in planning the meals. This will help teach them about good food choices.
-
Do not shop when you or the children are hungry. You are much more likely to buy items you don’t really want or need if you are hungry, and to purchase more costly, quick, convenience items.
-
Do not reward or punish behavior with food. Using food as a reward or punishment can teach children to depend on food later in life when they need emotional support.
-
Be consistent. If the response to a child’s behavior is different every time, the child will not know what to expect. Be consistent in your responses to the behavior
-
Make mealtime a happy time. In today’s world, families are often so busy they don’t have time to talk to each other.Don’t let the busyness of life steal the opportunity to make mealtime a special time. Regaularly set aside certain meals that are your family’s special time to be together.
Parents must learn the lesson of implicit obedience to God’s voice, which speaks to them out of His Word. As they learn this lesson, they can teach their children respect and obedience in word and action. This is the work that should be carried on in home. Those who do it will reach upward themselves, realizing that they must elevate their children.

The first child especially should be trained with great care, for he will educate the rest. Children grow according to the influence of those who surround them. If they are handled by those who are noisy and boisterous, they become noisy and almost unbearable. The gradual development of the plant from the seed is an object lesson in child training.

Parents are under obligation to feed and clothe and educate their children. Children are under obligation to serve their parents with cheerful, earnest fidelity. When children cease to feel their obligation to share the toil and burden with their parents, then how would it suit them to have their parents cease to feel their obligation to provide for them? In ceasing to do the duties that devolve upon them to be useful to their parents, to toil, children miss their opportunity of obtaining a most valuable education that will fit them for future usefulness.
Parents are not to be slaves to their children, doing all the sacrificing, while the children are permitted to grow up careless and unconcerned, letting all the burdens rest upon their parents.

When we see a young boy acting like his father we say, “Like father, like son.” The poet suggest that what the child is, the man will become; therefore “the child is father of the man.” Today we recognize that diatary habits established in childhood are often carried into adult life. There is also increasing awareness of the relationship between dietary habits and chronic disease. If the right habit are developed early in life we may be able to lessen the risk for chronic disease later on.
What can we do, then to help assure that our children will have the most nourishing food possible when they are little, and healthful eating practice when they are adults in the next century?
The place to start is with breastfeeding. Human milk contains just the nutrients the baby needs, in the right amounts and in the most suitable form. Hundreds of papers have been published describing human milk and the beneficial properties it contains. All we have room to say here is that it is still the best food for baby.

It is true that too harsh discipline, too much criticism, unrequired laws and regulations, lead to disrespect of authority and to the disregarding finally of those regulations that Christ would have fulfilled.
Parents, it is your duty to study from cause to effect. When you scolded your children, when with angry blows you struck those who were too small to defend themselves, did you ask yourself what effect such treatment would have upon you? Have you thought how sensitive you are in regard to words of censure or blame? How quickly you feel hurt if you think that someone fails to recognize your capabilities? You are but grown-up children. Then think how your children must feel when you speak harsh, cutting words to them, severely punishing them for faults that are not half so grievous in the dight of God as is your treatment of them.
Often we do more to provoke than to win. A mother snatch from the hand of her child something that was giving it special pleasure. The child did not know the reason for this, and naturally felt abused. Then followed a quarrel between parent and child, and a sharp chastisement ended the scene as far as outward apperance was concerned. That battle left an impression on the tender mind that would not be easily effaced. This mother acted unwisely. She did not reason from cause to effect. Her harsh, injudicious action stirred the worst passions in the heart of her child, and on every similar occasion these passions would be aroused and strengthened.
You have no right to bring a gloomy cloud over the happiness of your children by faultfinding or severe censure for trifling mistakes. Actual wrong should be made to appear just as sinful as it is, and a firm, decided course should be pursued to prevent its recurrence; yet children should not be left in a hopeless state of mind, but with a degree of courage that they can improve and gain your confidence and approval.
Well may the mother inquire, as she looks upon the children given to her care. What is the great aim and object of their education? Is it to fit them for life and its duties, to qualify them to take an honorable position in the world, to do good, to benefit their fellow-beings, to gain eventually the reward of the righteous? If so, then the first lesson to be taught them is self-control. No undisciplined, headstrong person can hope for success in this world or reward in the next.
The little one’s before they are a year old, hear and understand what is spoken in reference to themselves, and know to what extent they are to be indulged. Mothers, you should train your children to yield to your wishes. This point must be gained if you would hold control over your children, and preserve your dignity as a mother. Your children quickly learn just what you expect of them. They know when their will conquers yours, and will make the most of their victory. It is cruelty to allow wrong habits to be developed, to give the laws into the hands of the child and let him rule.

The child’s first teacher is the mother. During the period of greatest susceptibility and most rapid development his education is to a great degree in her hands. To her first is given opportunity to mold the character for good or for evil. She should understand the value of her opportunity and, above every other teacher, should be qualified to use it to the best account. Yet there is no other to whose training so little thought is given. The one whose influence in education is most potent and far-reaching is the one for whose assistance there is the least systematic effort. Upon fathers as well as mothers rests a responsibility for the child’s earlier and later training. For both parents the demand for careful and thorough preparation is urgent. Before taking upon themselves the possibilities of fatherhood and motherhood, men and women should become acquainted with the laws of physical development – with physiology and hygiene, with the bearing of prenatal influences, with the laws of heredity, sanitation, dress, exercise, and the treatment of disease. They should also understand the laws of mental development and moral training.
At times the heart may be ready to faint; but a living sense of the dangers threatening the present and future happiness of their love ones should lead Christian parents to seek more earnestly for help from the source of strength and wisdom. It should make them circumspect, decided, and calm yet firm, while they watch these children, as they that must give account.
When I was young my mother always teaches us to be responsible in every thing we do. We are the ones responsible of our selves, especially in making decision in life. She always reminds us to have the good hygiene, and take care of our dignity. In choosing partner we have been warned to check the background or the hereditary history of the family. We have to choose wisely because our future will be base in our decision. She teaches us most especially the good moral exercise and mental development.
