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 this brief episode, Dr. Shaw discusses her philosophy that one of the most important aspects of life is how we show up. What she encourages is that when negativity is in the air, we should surrender to how it is, not take anything too seriously and remember that the moment will pass. Negating the feelings instead of surrendering to them is being less true. Learning to not take a negative moment personally is a winning formula, and teaching ourselves and our children the best strategies for dealing with having a bad day get us past it. Allowing ourselves to feel our feelings is essential, but creating negative behavior as a response to negativity is not the best way to show up.
