Unschooling & Cooking

Letting children work in kitchen with their will & interest, they discover many talents, have ideas & cook their way. They have time to explore & experiment.

Cooking is life long skill & must be associated with fun, not fear. Being able to cook for oneself & people of house is a total satisfaction & not relying on others.   



DO TELL children about kitchen hazards e.g. gas, sharp knife, slippery floor. Tell them precautions like tying hair, wear slippers, rollup sleeves, being vigilant while handling gas stove, check any leaks and make sure to turn off gas. Monitor them! 

DO APPRECIATE no matter how the food tastes. It’s all part of learning.


DO NOT disturb children while they are experimenting or playing with raw material or not cooking properly or roaming around house while food is going crazy on stove. It’s all part of healthy learning. 

DO NOT compare their food with yours or anyone else.
DO not yell when food is being cooked carelessly or is bad in taste or even when wasted. 


Cook easy,

Attended Natural Birth Workshop 2025 - as AMANI trainee affiliate; childbirth educator & doula

 🍃Whatever I inform about healthy lifestyle comes from the knowledge that I learn during my studies. 

✒️While my two environmental engineering degrees, I have worked in laboratories & medical school. Then I top those up with certifications coupled by my research publications & most importantly my personal experiences, trial & testings. 

🍃That's why what I share is not on Google /chatgpt / meta just like that, as these platforms are not for proper knowledge. I put my time & money to earn valuable implementable knowledge.

✒️Sharing my most recent certification that I have earned April 2025.


Natural Instincts are necessary for survival today!

MY CERTIFICATION





























NATURAL BIRTH INSTINCTS & KNOWLEDGE IS LONG FORGOTTEN SO I SHARE THE IDEA:

Natural Birth instinct & knowledge which was deep rooted within us, it's long forgotten. reviving it can cause real healing of us spiritually, emotionally & physically.

Natural instinctive birth is right of mother & baby.  Trust in Allah & His design, work with our body systems and hormones to achieve a peaceful birth instead of extra medical interventions & face consequences e.g. side effects of unnecessary c-sec.

As most of you know that how much I advice for health but I myself felt totally helpless & in no control when I was rushed to unnecessary fear-mongered emergency c-sec despite my healthy pregnancy throughout & even at that moment...
