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 brief podcast episode, Dr. Shaw dives into a question that comes to her frequently, and that is... "how do I get my children to listen to me?" Dr. Shaw has written an entire Parenting Guide on Effective Communication with children, but in this podcast she focuses on one very interesting and under-discussed aspect of getting respect from children, and that is the balance of firm and fun. Here, Dr. Shaw shares both solid parenting tips and some of her teaching experience in order to illustrate this principle. She also concludes with some good advice on having, teaching and modeling generosity during this holiday season.
