It is such a beautiful thing to offer children the dignity of risk. And....it is clearly reaping wonderful rewards (little ones making dessert! That's a sweet combo). When my oldest were young I taught them to make coffee in the morning (hey...they were up before I was anyways) and man did they LOVE making me coffee in the morning with the gushing thanks they would receive. Could it have led to burns? Yup. So can going out in the sun. And they do that too. It's great to see other parents focusing on common sense and investing in the skills their kiddos have rather than hovering and sheltering. Right on!
