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, Dr. Shaw takes a brief moment to put forward another very simple but profound principle that applies to education and parenting and that is that behaviors have consequences. It seems like a very simple observation, but if a child exhibits good behavior it will result in good consequences and if a child exhibits bad behavior it will likely result in bad consequences. The most direct lesson for the child can actually be that it's not their parent who creates the consequence, but the child's behavior creates it. There's also a sidebar in this podcast regarding Dr. Shaw's observation of overly casual informality between young children (6 or 7 years old) that can result in an "attitude" when dealing with adults or more formal situations.
