Lifetime educator, Dr. Mindy Shaw, maintained a philosophy in her classroom of 4 to 8 year olds to "teach humanity daily" in addition to the more traditional skill sets of reading, writing and math. Now, in an era of remote and hybrid learning, the notion of teaching humanity is somewhat threatened. She has created a series of e-books and paperbacks so that parents can have the tools they need for also teaching social and emotional skills, and in this series, Dr. Shaw discusses what it means to teach humanity both in general and in an era of learning via computer.

Here, Dr. Shaw also re-introduces the concept of modeling the kind of result(s) you want for your children, and you can sometimes accomplish that aspect by sharing a very personal story. She also encourages all parents and educators to share the tasks with young children, and she illustrates clearly in this podcast what that looks like.
