When I was a little girl a boy from church had hot bacon grease spilled on his head. He is permanently scarred and was in the hospital for a long time with the burns. My mother worked on both the burn unit and the peds unit while getting her nursing degree and she worked with kids that were in such pain from burns that MORPHINE couldn't ease thier pain. I DO NOT want that to be my child. I guess that their has to be a happy medium... because I can see how being a part of food prep can help them to be more concious of food choices.... I just want to be sure that my child stays safe also. Of course my girl is only eleven months but a strict out of the kitchen policy is enforced in our house.... and yes someday she will have to be introduced to the kitchen, I'm just not sure when yet.
