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 brief but fantastic episode, Dr. Shaw walks us through the importance of understanding and responding to our feelings of DISAPPOINTMENT. As Dr. Shaw points out, disappointment occurs whether you are 2 or 82, and it's always important to monitor how one reacts to a disappointing situation. There is an invitation to learn within every emotional experience, and, as with many other visceral reactions, what kind of results come from that experience is mostly guided by how you show up to that scenario. Dr. Shaw describes a recent disappointment that she had, and she reminds us that modeling emotional reactions for our children and sharing with them that even adults have the same experiences as children is crucial. Again, it's our response to disappointment or any other sensation that determines who we are and what kind of success we will have in life.
