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 re-visits the topic of parents who might influence their children by passing down negative traits unconsciously. Dr. Shaw uses some illustrative examples, some from her own life experience, of scenarios wherein the behavior of a parent can be projected onto a child and, in a way, ingrained in that child's own behavioral patterns. Dr. Shaw encourages parents (and educators) to carefully watch out for this kind of negative influence by self-monitoring one's own faults, foibles and insecurities. It's a tricky endeavor, but an important one to monitor in order to have your child have the most positive experiences as they navigate life.
