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 episode, Dr. Shaw continues to be inspired by her own recent personal medical challenges to see things from a perspective that opens new doors educationally. Here, she considers the notion of victimization... in other words, she asks the question "Am I a victim for having my condition?" In answering that question, it brings up an examination of "Why?" questions which are often asked by children. In Dr. Shaw's point of view, "Why?" is often answered with one's head but instead, answers can and should sometimes be found in behavior and emotion. During this discussion she lays out a three-tiered way of looking at oneself... by using INTENTION, ATTENTION and REFLECTION. It's a fascinating discussion with parenting possibilities built right in.
