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.

On this brief episode, Dr. Shaw reiterates her philosophy that one should not be afraid of difficulty. Difficult moments are temporary, and accepting it, showing up to it and working through it. It's okay to teach our children that sometimes things are hard. If we reflect on this highs and lows of our life, it gives us a formula to create more highs and experience less lows. Accepting a challenge builds stamina and character, and a mistake is a learning opportunity. By modeling that you are not a victim, it helps our children see that when adversity strikes, they are not victims either.
