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 brief episode, Dr. Shaw talks about one of the topics found in her series of children's books for socio-emotional learning (SEL)... GREED. Her granddaughter Olivia, who is a real-life partner with Dr. Shaw in developing the SEL curriculum found in Dr. Shaw's books, recently re-read the GREED book and enjoyed its content. That event inspired this podcast wherein Dr. Shaw not only talks about the concept of what greed is for a young child, but she closely associates the feeling of greed with not "being in the moment." During this podcast, she explains that in detail and uses an example from her days in the classroom to illustrate. The books, by the way, can all be found here:
