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 engaging episode, Dr. Shaw examines what it means to have (or not have) expectations and how having expectations can affect your child. An important element of having expectations is that it can lead to disappointment. There are ways that Dr. Shaw illustrates where one might aim for the best one can possibly do all the time. In her analysis, recognizing the gap between wanting a particular result and expecting that result is an important step for both parent and child. You are continually modeling for your child and how you hold yourself in the world and manage your expectations is key. Also, maintaining an attitude of gratitude for any outcome mitigates any disappointment.
