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 compelling episode, Dr. Shaw untangles a tricky situation for children and parents alike.... Continuing a conversation from a recent prior podcast, she dives into an analysis of friendships, and in particular, what happens when children and parents develop relationships of convenience and something goes wrong. Sometimes the children don't get along, sometimes the parents bicker, and sometimes things can go wrong and get quickly fixed by one party (like the children) and not by the other (the parents). The scenarios Dr. Shaw describes are a page right out of real life, potentially yours, and her real gift comes when she offers the "do's" and "don't" of how to behave and what to say when juggling this kind of dilemma. Her experience as both a parent and as a teacher who spent decades running a classroom with young children is invaluable for this discussion, and her guidance can surely benefit you and your children when challenged by these kinds of social pressures.
