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 we overcome grief and how we allow ourselves to have the feelings that we have. We cannot suppress certain feelings.. we have to feel them. For her personally, self-observation followed by reflection on her own behavior leads her to her own transformation or adjustment from one mood to another. She questions whether there is sometimes a need to be sad. Sometimes there may be an unconscious addiction to feeling a certain way. Sometimes depression feeds us. Sometimes there are external forces that steer us to negativity. Sometimes we are the cause of our own suffering. Regardless of the causes, it's important to observe ourselves and recognize the state of our being in order to adjust and have the most fulfilling lives.
