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 once again tables the conversation about her parenting guide in order to answer a question from a parent that came in via her website at www.learnwithmeremotely.com. The question involved an older sibling that was acting out due to feeling jealous of a new baby in the house. Dr. Shaw actually has TWO children's picture books that are germane to this topic... one is called Jealousy and the other is called Birth of a Sibling. This podcast draws on the learning lessons of both of those books. In "Jealousy" a child envies the possessions of another child, but it taught to not worry about what someone else has, but to count the blessing for what YOU have. In "Birth of a Sibling" it does deal with the life event of a new baby coming into the household. Dr. Shaw utilizes some very special strategies from that book during this podcast, and as always, her direct method of communication turns out to be both simple and profound.
