Any time I ask for help in the kitchen, my son finds something else to do. His Hot Wheels, cleaning his room or toe jam suddenly become the greatest thing since sliced bread. I know he needs to learn how to cook, but the fight is just too challenging. If we have to fight, I’d rather it be over taking a bath and not cooking.
Enter our wonderful Occupational Therapist and her brilliant ideas. She shared Aggression Cookies, and these are a hit–literally. Just place the ingredients in a bag and bang until combined. Cook and eat or enjoy raw.
This recipe is a great way to get energetic boys into the kitchen. While the cookies bake, mix dinner and engage your energetic boys in creating the food they so eagerly consume.
