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 a topic that came up via contact with one of the families in her circle of friends and it is the subject of stress. Different people react differently to stressful stimuli... some of us have a short fuse when stressed while others among us may close down emotionally when dealing with stress. She discusses how one needs to identify the stress and initiate a strategy to deal with it rather than allow the stress to overwhelm our emotions. What we don't want is for the stress to disrupt the way we behave with those we love, and what we do want is to not only handle the stress as best we can, but to model our successful strategies for our children.
