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 reviews one of her favorite principles for living and that is that each of us should not take things personally. It sounds like an easy request, but because we all have feelings and reactions, it can sometimes be a difficult principle to live by. Plus, there are moments in our parenting chores when something might be said or done that really feels like a personal affront. It is important in those moments to step back and remind ourselves about the ingredients that went into creating the situation that we are in and to remind ourselves, again, to not take it personally. This is another brief but valuable gem from Dr. Shaw.
