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.

Once again this week, Dr. Shaw has postponed further discussion about her new parenting book in order to lead a helpful discussion for parents on a slightly different topic. Her book is a guide for effective communication with children, and in actuality, the topic of this podcast is not unrelated to that subject matter. This discussion is related to parents and their modeling of behavior for children, and the question that Dr. Shaw explores here is... if a parent or caretaker has a limitation in a particular area, how should that adult behave around a child so that the limitations of the adult do not create a limiting environment for the child. Dr. Shaw shares examples and offers strategies for how to do what's best for the child's development.
