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 fascinating episode, Dr. Shaw responds to a parent's request for advice about how to handle a child with bad behavior. In responding to that inquiry, Dr. Shaw deconstructs her own recent experience with a child who uses misbehavior to gain results. Dr. Shaw brilliantly describes the situation, sees directly into the manipulative thought process motivating the bad behavior, and recounts how the parent (a very good, not unskilled parent, by the way) handled but also mis-handled the situation. Dr. Shaw offers advice on how the entire episode could have been guided differently by the parent to a better result. Interestingly, witnesses who watched this same scenario were impressed by the parenting they saw, yet Dr. Shaw manages to go one step further to outline what should have been done for greater long term results. Once again, she identifies the issue, and offers the best possible solution.
