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, which follows two very personal episodes, Dr. Shaw returns to her specialty as a parenting expert. Here she discussed the simple scenario of having a child acting out because something didn't go their way. What actually happened isn't as important as Dr. Shaw's tenet that it's okay to veer away from your usual parenting rules and boundaries AS LONG AS bad behavior is not seen as being rewarded. Also, if bad behavior is temporarily not addressed for whatever social or environmental reasons, it must be addressed and reviewed at a later time. Your child must know what they did incorrectly, why it was not appropriate behavior, and what the normal natural consequence for such behavior should be. Children know and appreciate boundaries as well as needing them.
