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 briefly re-visits a topic that is actually more than just a topic... it's one of the 10 governing principles in her recent parenting book which is a guide to effective communication with children. The principle is that you need to CHECK FOR UNDERSTANDING with your child, particularly around agreements that were already established such as a bedtime or what's for dinner. Dr. Shaw uses an illustration from her own life whereby she and her partner, in order to communicate more effectively about routine household responsibilities, have taken on a quick but formal form of acknowledgement when setting priorities at home. As she speaks through her own practice, it becomes a solid example of how it can be applied to parenting and to having children stick with their own commitments.
