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 discusses the fascinating topic of strategically balancing the strong tendencies in children. She uses the example of being a fighter, and Dr. Shaw starts out by admitting that she had that quality and that that quality or tendency is often seen as a negative. Dr. Shaw points out that there are absolutely positive aspects when a child is prone to having a strong personality or is a "fighter," and she offers some interesting illustrative examples of how that behavior might play out. As she often does, Dr. Shaw brings the conversation around to maintaining effective communication with your child so that there is clarity when a strong personality trait results in correct or incorrect behavior.
