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 episode, Dr. Shaw discusses living without fear as she puts forth the concept that true liberation is living without fear. Dr. Shaw's point of view is that it's important to teach our children to not be afraid as fear prevents from expressing ourselves in the most authentic way, and we do that by revealing our own vulnerabilities to our children. Her theory is that to be in the game is more important than winning the game and that in fact simply participating and doing one's best IS a win. Sometimes we get the result we want, and sometimes we don't, but the important element is making the effort. Demonstrating to our children that living life fully is simply showing up to all of our experiences, good or bad. The experience is the gift.
