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 fascinating episode, Dr. Shaw tackles the notion of nervousness. Her intent is to help parents and educators assist children who are approaching a situation that makes them uneasy, but the strategies she outlines are helpful to adults as well. Children could be faced with a test or a sports tryout or just about anything that causes nervousness, and this discussion outlines ways to teach them to embrace the discomfort. Facing and actually embracing a challenge can lead to control of the situation.
