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 focuses on how, in life, timing can be everything. She runs through several examples and scenarios to illustrate how waiting for the right moment can pay off... timing can deliver you the right relationship, timing can help students in school when a child needs an extra moment, patience can keep you centered or when you are waiting for word about a school application or a job or acceptance into a club or sports team. Unanswered prayers need a moment to be answered, and often the answer can come in disguise. Even having the right conversation with your child about anything from a temper tantrum to an awkward moment that we are navigating, may require just the right time to be effective. Life ebbs and flows, and patience through the process pays off.
