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 re-examines the topic of surrender versus seeing things through. She feels that it is an important attribute of child-rearing that conversations take place and that many of life's tasks and events are prepared for in advance or "front-loaded" as much as possible. One of the conversations that is important to have is when it comes to commitments that are made by children. It could be commitment to a sports team or other after school activity, it could be a commitment to a hobby... whatever it is there are learning lessons inherent in knowing when it is time to persevere or when it might be time to change course. There are consequences to not setting the stage properly up front and also to making the wrong choice at decision-making time.
