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 follows up on an inspiration that cropped up during a recent radio interview on which she appeared. She was discussing her books and the subject of social and emotional learning and it was suggested that adults needed that kind of learning as much as children. This podcast picks up on that theme and talks in depth about how "we are what we pay attention to" and how modeling for children, especially in this troubled time of remote and disrupted education, is so important.
