Peel potato
A peeler needs force in one direction and a steady hand holding the potato. That combination feels sharp and risky to many kids. The pictures below break the grip into clear steps.

About this visual support
Few kitchen tasks load up as quickly as peeling. The blade is sharp, the force has to travel away from the fingers, and a wrong hold on the potato sends the peeler sliding. Adults do not always notice the worry, but a child feels it in the hand before the first stroke.
Visual support makes the grip visible: where the thumb sits, the angle of the peeler and which direction to pull. When the hand knows what to do before the motion starts, tension drops and the focus moves to the stroke itself rather than the risk.
One concrete tip: start with a large, already washed potato and do the first stroke together, hand over hand. Once the body has felt the motion once, the rest tends to flow. With Routined you can place the peeling pictures in a sequence beside washing up, so the whole small kitchen mission stays in view.
