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 reviews a theme that has come up before in her material, but has also been coming up again via input from parents and it is the subject of DISCIPLINE. Dr. Shaw offers an interesting point of view about discipline as she identifies with the word more for its positive connotations that its negative ones. While many parents and educators hear the word "discipline" as meaning "punitive" which is negative, Dr. Shaw relates to the kind of discipline that's needed for accomplishment such as having the discipline to do a task or fulfill a responsibility. She also discusses having natural consequences for the child whenever there is misbehavior as well as the proper approach when dealing with a child who is having a temper tantrum and offers ways to communicate in that situation with your child.
