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 explores one of the four main principles from one of her favorite books, The Four Agreements. In this case, it's the notion of being "impeccable with your word" which can be a challenge in one's own life. Dr. Shaw's interpretation is that you must not go against yourself or be negative regarding your own actions. She deftly ties that concept into parenting and teaching, and she talks about how it is important in education to support the learning lessons they encounter. She also emphasizes that when there is a problem, the problem does not define a person, and children need to be supported in the notion of who they really are.
