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 delivers a succinct lesson in parenting for this early part of the New Year, and it was inspired by an episode during which a child was exhibiting some unattractive behavior during the recent holidays. It's easy for a child to get over-tired, over-wrought or over-stimulated by sweets and treats during the holidays, and Dr. Shaw witnessed an incident that served as an important microcosm for what can go right or wrong with behavior. A child became a bit hysterical and the child's parent did what she knew how to do to mitigate the situation, but Dr. Shaw's philosophy as explained here, is a much more effective strategy for addressing what happened. There can be long-lasting implications resulting from how a child's behavior is responded to, and Dr. Shaw does a nice job with this quick story of putting parents on the right track.
