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.

FEEL YOUR FEELINGS! - Teaching Humanity Remotely with Dr. Mindy Shaw - Ep. 252
Dr. Shaw begins by outlining her motivation for creating this particular podcast, and that rationale is to examine how we are when we feel our feelings. It begins with the fact that we are taught from a very early age that we should have only happy feelings and that life is filled with happy endings. Dr. Shaw feels that it's wrong action to think that way, and that what we need to strive for is the realization that feelings come and go. She encourages a type of neutrality or objectivity about feelings. Yes, it can feel better to be happy, but we should also not feel sad or shameful or vulnerable when we have a so-called negative feeling.... those are real feelings. The goal she encourages for herself and for others is to have contentment in life. Sometimes we have bad or ordinary moments... sometimes we have wonderful peak experiences... it's ALL ok... it's just the human condition.
