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 once again responds to a question posed via her website, and the question this time around is one that has come up in the past: how do you as a parent talk with your child about subjects that might be difficult or uncomfortable to talk about? Dr. Shaw walks us through examples of what kinds of subject matter might come up... unpleasant stories in the news for example... and she offers solid parental guidance on the best possible approach in those situations. Her guidance includes being developmentally appropriate with you child as well as honest. Her key guidance is that your child should never be burdened with subject matter that isn't theirs to handle. This is a valuable conversation and worthy of our attention.
