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 discusses how your perception, particularly about yourself, can impact the way in which you show up in life and manifest your place in the world. Here she focuses on that notion by recounting a recent interaction she had with a young man with physical challenges. As a long-time teacher, she made the comment while interacting with this young man and in some ways, everyone has special needs, but her comment landed on him a offensive. The young man felt that his obvious impairments could not be compared to someone with fewer challenges. They had a lively discussion and ended their interaction with hugs, but her philosophy is such that Dr. Shaw puts forth that if you see yourself as something.... disabled, angry, unlucky, negative... your perception will manifest your reality.
