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 continues responding to the feedback she received from parents regarding what they would like to see included in their children's education.... and today she addresses COMMITMENT and FOLLOW-THROUGH. Dr. Shaw describes what a commitment consists of and how to not avoid the task. The importance of commitment is that it keeps an individual on track. If you begin a commitment, you need to recognize the goal and the intention of that commitment and that it is important that children feel the accomplish of the commitment. Also, if there is an agreement to make a commitment it needs to be followed through. If not, there must be natural consequences.
