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 podcast, Dr. Shaw re-ignites a conversation about teaching RESILIENCE to our children, but the topic actually came up via a very recent personal experience for her. Dr. Shaw had a medical scare recently, and among the many thoughts brought on by that incident was the notion of keeping a positive attitude and not allowing thoughts that are are negative, non-contributing or distractions in any way. She learned and shares some valuable lessons about life from this recent experience, and, as is generally the case, Dr. Shaw suggests some excellent scenarios by which one can regularly practice their humanity, and their resilience.
