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 answers a follow-up question about her comment on a recent podcast about "socializing a child's behavior." She explains that concept using real life examples, and then she reads one of the stories from her recent book series. The chapter she reads is the one titled "SHAME" and it provides a fascinating framework for a discussion about shame and a child's natural reaction to making a mis-take. To Dr. Shaw, there are no "mistakes," only learning opportunities.
