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.

On this brief episode, Dr. Mindy Shaw brings on a special guest, her granddaughter Olivia who was a big part of the inspiration for Dr. Shaw's series of children's non-fiction picture books for social-emotional learning. It was conversations between Olivia and her "Min Min" that helped Dr. Shaw to apply her 30 years in the classroom with young children into a compendium of stories covering life lessons and life events. The books are complete with short talking points at the end of each story. Olivia, who just turned 7 years old, is a poised and well-spoken youngster, and Dr. Shaw uses her brief time on with Olivia on this podcast to demonstrate the authenticity of her communication with young children.
