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 takes a detour from her recent episodes of discussing character building to talk about a related issue, bullying. She discusses her philosophy that behavior comes from need, and that bullies don't feel good about themselves which is why they behave the way they do... to make others feels small so they can feel bigger. She then reads her book titled "Showing Off", which is part of her acclaimed new series of children's books for social and emotional learning.
