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.

As you may have noticed, this podcast is #52 and that means it marks one year of Dr. Mindy Shaw providing her weekly insights in podcast form. As Dr. Shaw marks that occasion, she reviews in this podcast how her recent work efforts of writing children's nonfiction books and doing podcasts all began and what motivates her to continue to contribute in this fashion. Also in this episode, Dr. Shaw continues to explore one of the four main principles from one of her favorite books, The Four Agreements. In this case, it's the notion of "not taking things personally" which can be a challenge in one's own life. Dr. Shaw delivers not only a solid interpretation of what it truly means to not take things personally, but she adds in some wonderful illustrative examples of how that principle or "agreement" can be applied effectively when taking care of and teaching young children.
