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 discusses the concept of "Show and Tell," and she uses the framework of the "Show and Tell" game to illustrate how parents can better communicate with their children. She walks us through finding the sweet spot for communication... in other words, parents need to avoid over-talking to their children which results in a lack of attention, and they need to avoid under-talking which demonstrates that you might wrongly be assuming that your child knows what you are talking about. Some things need explanation, and some things require discussion, but the key is marking and noting those items or moments in ways that truly deliver a real learning lesson.
