Sometimes it just happens naturally. For instance, if you are a mom or dad who loves to bake, the circumstances surrounding the whole ordeal provide a perfect opportunity for bonding. Think about it. Recruiting your kid(s) for some tasty fun and conversation happens like magic. Your little helpers get to work gathering ingredients and equipment. Before you know it, the atmosphere is set for a lesson or two and a little sharing along the way. Once the process gets going, measuring, temperatures and mixing sets the stage for positive interactions and conversation.
