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 covers the fascinating subject of our belief systems, and specifically, she focuses on the impact of negative beliefs about oneself and the potential limits that self-doubt can cause. For example, if your child believes that they are not good readers or good at sports or whatever the case may be, that belief system needs to be changed. Negative self-image supported by a belief can have the power to become a self-fulfilling prophecy. You want your children to think well of themselves, and belief systems can be changed just like one's attitude can be changed.
