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 discusses not one but two tales of success. The first story she shares was inspired by a parent who had contacted her to talk about the notion of a child's mistake being a learning opportunity. The idea of the mis-take leading to a re-take is a popular theme of Dr. Shaw's and she leads the listener through a brief but effective summary of how that concept works in the realm of parenting. Her second tale of success is about a more personal triumph, and the theme of that section of the podcast is really about how one's past, every aspect of one's past, can define you at one point, but then later, one needs to leave the baggage of that old story behind in some capacity. Your history informs you, but at some point can inhibit you. Dr. Shaw has seen various people treat her with the high regard that she deserves recently both personally and professionally, and there are lessons for her and for everyone in that "arrival."
