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 talks about a subject that came up because it was the holiday season... the topic is greed and being greedy. Children often want more than is necessary, and Dr. Shaw shares her strategies for dealing with greediness drawn from her lifetime of experience teaching young children. She teaches that when a child is "in the moment," that child is able to appreciate what they have as opposed to being preoccupied with the next shiny object.
