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 takes on the challenging subject of how to hear what might be considered criticism and to not take it personally. Dr. Shaw has always been an big advocate of the concept of not taking things personally, but that can be especially delicate ground to tread upon when dealing with your children who are often in a system of education or other social settings where external rewards are a large part of the system. It all comes down to teaching children, as well as ourselves, to understand who we are in our truth, and to distance ourselves from the potentially negative feelings that can happen when we hear something that might be considered criticism.
