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.

This episode is an important follow-up to the prior podcast in this series, Episode 130, in which Dr. Shaw describes a situation in which a child acted out and ended up controlling the situation by getting attention for bad behavior. Dr. Shaw does not condone a parenting strategy that rewards bad behavior in any way, and in this podcast, she further discusses how a parent needs to behave like the responsible adult when handling a child in a challenging situation. She uses the example of a child having temper tantrum in a social or public situation, and she offers her expert point of view on WHY that behavior is happening and HOW you should truly respond. Her rational and thoughtful approach to this scenario should benefit any caretaker or educator by laying out the best possible strategy.
