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 takes a look at what happens when we over-protect our hearts out of fear of getting hurt. Her philosophy is that if one is so afraid of getting hurt, then love won't be allowed in. Where our children are concerned, we need to teach our children how to deal with fear since fear can be so very limiting. Dr. Shaw's belief is that the adults who influence children need to model not being afraid, and in doing so we need to strike a balance of caution and fearlessness. The bottom line is that if one doesn't "try," one never moves in the direction of accomplishment.
