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 passionately examines the concept and the saying that TIMING IS EVERYTHING. She begins by pointing that this is a concept that might be difficult for children to wrap their heads around. She then continues by sharing examples of how sometimes adults express regret or a sense of missed opportunity when reviewing certain incidents in their lives. Meanwhile, the reality is that we all have to go through everything that we go through in order to arrive at where we are now. If you've reached the point where you are living your best life, you should have gratitude and not regret. Appreciate your learning lessons, and with our children, when they feel disappointment, explain to them that these moments serve a purpose.
