IT’S an intriguing new trend in children’s education, and one has to wonder if the
demand came from kids themselves or from their hungry parents looking for a tasty meal.
Debby Tonn — founder of the about-to-be-launched kids’
cooking school, The Hungry Oven — says children’s cooking classes have been all the rage in the U.S. for a number of years, and had only really started to migrate north to Central Canada more recently.
In our own neck of the woods, “there have been summer programs and classes at community centres,” she says, adding that her own daughter took kid’s cooking during a Capilano University
summer program and loved it, “but there aren’t really any for-profi t cooking schools aimed at younger kids.”
So what’s the impetus for kids’ migration to the kitchen?
A larger trend toward knowing exactly what we’re eating, and eating healthier is part of it, says Tonn. Many parents want to introduce this concept to their children at a
younger age.A recent article in the
Daily Mail said research shows children are starting to cook younger than ever. On average they now cook their fi rst meal at only seven – fi ve years earlier than their parents’ generation did.
“It’s an idea whose time has come,” says Tonn. “There’snothing more thrilling than to have your son or daughter say to you ‘I made dinner tonight.’”
The Hungry Oven is slated to open in the second week of May in a 4,000-square-foot space on Churchill Crescentin North Vancouver. With two commercial kitchens and a “Kinder Kitchen” with induction ranges for children aged three to nine, the school is set to offer a range of courses to all age groups, with executive chef Johannes Oberbichler, formerly a restaurant chefinstructor with Pacifi c Instituteof Culinary Arts.
And while it is primarily for children, The Hungry Oven will also offer some special classes for adults, such as Date Night, Girls’ Night Out and Guys’ Night.
The web site, www.thehungryoven.com, is scheduled to go live later this month. Watch for advertisements in the North Shore News.

■ 101 Classroom Games: Energize Learning in Any Subject, by Gareth Long, Harvey Grout and Stuart Taylor. Published by Human Kinetics, $19.95.
Terry [email protected]
KEEPING young students focused on their work is not an easy task, but one that teachers face every day.
Many have already learned this surefi re trick: playing a game can help students in their retention of learned material, wake them up and refresh them, and it can be a lot of fun to boot.
The authors have presented 101 games that can be used in a variety of ways. The games could be introduced during any part of a classroom session.
The games are presented alphabetically but they can be played in any order.
Beneath each title is information on the games application. This could be to tell the number of players, the type of game or the materials needed, all of which is helpful when choosing a game to play.
For example, Great Balls of Fire! is a game requiring
four buckets, four different colouredballs and a set of
multiple choice questions.
The teams line up and take turns answeringthe questions by running to their bucket and dropping the appropriateball in to signaltheir response to the
question. This game, like
the majority of gameslisted, has a number ofvariations.
Whatever the type and age group you might be working with, there are games provided
here that are sure to makelearning more fun and more stimulating.

BY focusing on parent education and youth empowerment, a collaborative community prevention project is effectively forging connections between adults and teens.
Let’s Talk Shop is an ongoing free facilitated evening event made possible by a host of local partners, including Vancouver Coastal Health, Capilano Community Services Society, Ambleside Youth Centre, Parkgate Community Services, North Shore Neighborhood House, the North and West Vancouver school districts, the North Shore Action on Prevention Task Force and the City of North Vancouver.
“Educators can give all kinds of tips and provide the most recent best practice on prevention and the latest research, but really when parents hear teenagers talking about those very issues that they know that their own teenagers are facing, there’s a
certain amount of credibility that that information provides,” says Lawrie Graham, a Vancouver Coastal Health alcohol and drug prevention educator based in North Vancouver.
Since the inaugural session of Let’s Talk Shop in January 2010, fi ve have been held so far with the sixth set for March 9.
Let’s Talk Shop brings small groups of parents of teenagers and teenagers together, giving youth the fl oor.
“It’s really just an opportunity for the young people to answer those diffi cult questions around stress, relationships, drugs and alcohol, peer pressures (and) family pressures and share those insights with the parents,” says Graham. “It’s a very respectful situation where the parents are just listening to the teenagers.”
Facilitators, like Graham and other community youth workers, are on hand to ensure there’s no glamorization of risky behaviour and to offer statistics as needed, for example from the McCreary Centre Society’s B.C. Adolescent Health Survey.
“Parents walk away with a renewed sense of empathy and respect for young people, understanding their challenges and confi dence to be more effective agents of their own life,” says Graham.
Events alternate between being held in North and West Vancouver, seeing parents from North Vancouver meet with teenagers from West Vancouver and vice versa. “That provides a little bit of confi dentiality and anonymity for the students,” says Graham.
The most recent event was held Jan. 25 at the West Vancouver Community Centre.
Jessie Ewing, 18, a student at North Vancouver’s Youth Learning Centre, views Let’s Talk Shop as an effective model for change.
“You’re really open and you’re telling them straight up what you’re feeling and how you think a youth would like a parent to handle things,” she says.
Ewing hopes parents take away the importance of listening to their children.
“It’s a very good learning experience and it can really help your relationship with your child,” she says, adding the same can be said for the
teens who participate.Having parented a number
of teenagers with one left at home, participant Eileen Guss said it was a very powerful evening, and found herself walking away with increased confi dence and awareness.
“It got rid of a lot of assumptions that I had,” she says.
The January session reaffi rmed the importance of healthy communication with teens, spending quality time with them and sitting down and making a concerted effort to listen to how they’re feeling and what they’re thinking, without judgment.
“It’s surprising when you do hear them, that what you thought isn’t true at all, what you’ve been worrying about, what you’ve been catastrophizing, it’s not like that at all,” says Guss. “It gives you real piece of mind,” she adds.
The next event is being held March 9 at Balmoral secondary, seeing North Vancouver parents listen to a panel of West Vancouver teens.
Adults or teenagers interested in attending this or future Let’s Talk Shop events can contact Graham at [email protected].
