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.

BE FREE FROM LIMITATIONS - Teaching Humanity Remotely with Dr. Mindy Shaw - Ep. 259
In this episode Dr. Shaw takes a look at our lives that are filled with excuses, and those excuses are born out of our preferences. She admits that she is always assigning meaning to things, and she wonders aloud what life would be like without our preferences. She uses a friend and her daughter as an illustrative example... the friend's daughter says she has a condition that makes her behave in a certain way, and that may very well be, but having a condition doesn't (or shouldn't) permit someone to be disrespectful or act in another anti-social way. Yes, people might have a disability or labeled conditions... Dr. Shaw likes to call that being "differently abled"... but that different ability doesn't prevent someone from being successful in the world. There is a different between learned behavior and behavior guided by a condition. To have our children grow up to be respectful, that has to be taught, and if we have a condition, we have to learn how to navigate the world and have the self worth to do so. Don't allow your "label" dictate how you are in the world, especially if that label is not in your best interest.
