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.

REVERSE THE NEGATIVITY - Teaching Humanity Remotely with Dr. Mindy Shaw - Ep.261
In this week's episode, Dr. Shaw picks up where she left off in the last episode by continuing to discuss how to release the negativity in many of our interactions. Specifically, she looks at how we use certain words and hold their definitions as inherently negative... words like punishment or mistake or disappointment. She also discusses how when we praise someone, particularly our children, and our praise is insincere, what are we teaching our children and ourselves? She uses some concrete examples of how this works and what better strategies might be, including being sincere and going one step further by being specific. And regarding the negative words, Dr. Shaw questions why we have such trouble agreeing to disagree and not putting blame on anyone since "blame" carries its own negative thread as a word. Then, with the word "disappointment" in the forefront, she explains how to turn a situation where your child is disappointed. She recommends honoring the disappointment and then putting your energy into positive movement away from the negative.
