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 uses an example of communication among adults to illustrate a successful strategy for communication with children. Her train of thought begins with an example of two adults communicating in which one or both of the adults might become defensive during a conversation. Her suggestion for the adults is to not be defensive but to be accommodating in terms of solving the mis-communication. She then turns that into a model for children which leads to a discussion about when to accommodate and when to have no room for negotiation with a child. It comes down to clarity and respect within the adult-child communication, and once again, it's best to hear her description of these effective strategies, and you can do so in this episode.
