I think it is extremely important for children to learn to cook. Cooking is a basic life skill that everyone should know. It is not about being gender-specific or age-specific. We can simply teach them to cook from the easiest recipes. Children should not be dependent on or waste their parents' time and resources. Sometimes, parents have to go out for work or different activities. Children should be able to cook for themselves. They should know how to cook and be able to be independent in everything.
