Abstract

The relationship of parent and child involves the full extent of a child’s development. A positive parent-child relationship has extremely important impact to the happiness and success for the child’s development. It helps the child to develop empathy and compassion for others. As a design student, I want to find out how I can support this relationship through my design acknowledge.This design project aims to gain a better understanding of parent-child relationship. The goal is somehow to help building a better communication for parents and children in a daily life. By learning parent-child relationship in a psychological perspective, I will focus on doing interviews, to observe and testing with families, and observe food making situation. Finally, my project concludes in the design and development of a kitchen toolkit both for children and adults. This tool may help and motivate the family, intergenerational, to take part in the food making process in the kitchen on a regular basis. This tool should motivate and help families to be able to share valuable quality time in hectic days with interaction through cooking
