My son is 14, he has a genetic condition, had a life changing operation last year and can only access the lounge/ bathroom at home. He has not wanted to make the journey into the kitchen in his wheelchair.
During the week he's started to come into the kitchen and wanted to be more independent.
We've bought an air fryer and rearranged all the kitchen round today. He can now use the microwave, air fryer fridge and freezer by himself. He can get his own snacks and fruit and a drink.
This is such a step forward for him mentally to be able to be a normal 14 year old. He's got a bit of zest for life again. He's made a decision in himself and its great to see.
Before anyone comments we are bad parents that he's sleeping in the lounge, we're working on a conversion to the house so he can have a purpose built room and wet room.
