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.

With this episode, Dr. Shaw continues her series within a series. During this edition, she is addressing the areas of education in which most parents have indicated to her that they are most interested in regard to their child's learning. This week her focus is on teaching kindness and compassion. One key to teaching kindness and compassion is by example. Parents often unconsciously display behavior that runs completely counter to what they want their children to be taught.... the lesson there for parents is to be careful. For teachers, the key is being intentional. We are always socializing our children to pay attention to things, so reinforce that their attention should be paid to the positive.
