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.

In Ep 11, Dr. Shaw introduces the notion of building character in children. She discusses what good character means, and she reads her children's book titled Sorry aloud as an illustration of character development. In that book, a child learns that just saying "I'm sorry" isn't enough... one needs to change their behavior to demonstrate true remorse. Dr. Shaw reviews the book's talking points. She then concludes by asking listeners to continue to provide feedback.
