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 podcast episode Dr. Shaw picks up on a topic she raised in podcast episode #52 which is an exploration of one of the four main principles from one of her favorite books, The Four Agreements. In this case once again, it's the principle of "not taking things personally" which can be a challenge in one's own life. Dr. Shaw takes the conversation one step further and delves into the notion of being defensive as a reaction to taking something personally. She leads a brief but powerful discussion about what it means to be defensive and how it can be counter-productive in any relationship but particularly in a family dynamic. She adds some poignant illustrative examples as explains this concept, and once again, she provides great advice on effectively communicating with others.
