• ADDRESSING ANXIETY - Teaching Humanity Remotely with Dr. Mindy Shaw - Ep. 266

  In this very brief but important episode, Dr. Shaw offers advice on how to disarm a situation in which your child, or even an adult, is suddenly facing anxiety.   It's quite common, and her guidance is spot on.  Essentially she says to validate the person's feelings who is experiencing anxiety, and then support them.  There is also a quick discussion on strategies to implement in this situation, but truly, the "validate and support" model is the answer offered here.

• THE EMOTIONAL ROLLERCOASTER - Teaching Humanity Remotely with Dr. Mindy Shaw - Ep 265

  In this brief but very helpful episode, Dr. Shaw gives us some solid guidance on dealing with the ups and downs of our emotions and feelings.  She begins by acknowledging that we all have ever-changing feelings based on the news that we receive or the experiences that we have.  That conversation then leads into her discussion about responding to children who are not in a good state of mind based on either simple disappointment or worse, when they are having a tantrum.  She offers great perspective and guidance regarding setting boundaries for our children based on their behavior and their personalities and she also incorporates and shares strategies for parents and teachers who need to handle those kinds of emotional fluctuations and possibly exercise some discipline.

• CHANGE YOUR STORY, CHANGE YOUR LIFE - Teaching Humanity Remotely with Dr. Mindy Shaw - Ep. 264

  In this episode, Dr. Shaw shares an illustrative example of how she and a friend separately and for different reasons changed their personal stories about certain situations and that change of story change the outcome of the situation.  She begins by relating some perspective on her podcast series and what each week's audio is about, and then the discussion evolves into some real world examples of how adult behavior can be altered by altering our perception about a situation.  She also shares how some of these seemingly adult topics can have a bearing on how and what we teach our children.  In simple terms, Dr. Shaw believes that if you hold a vision that you are not deserving of the best that life has to offer, you will manifest that result... so change your story and change your life!

• TRYING VS. DOING - Teaching Humanity Remotely with Dr. Mindy Shaw - Ep. 263

  In this episode, Dr. Shaw continues her look at the way in which we teach and use certain words with our children, but this time around the focus is primarily on the difference between "trying" and "doing."  Dr. Shaw explains her misgivings about the use of the word "trying" and she provides a number of illustrative examples of why that word can be not just confusing but damaging to a child's own expectations.

• BE MOTIVATED BY YOUR FEELINGS - Teaching Humanity Remotely with Dr. Mindy Shaw - Ep. 262

  In this episode, Dr. Shaw continues to examine the ways in which we trap ourselves into a layer of negativity because the feeling we may be having is labeled as negative.  She examines words like "disappointment" or "melancholy" and explains that while we all have feelings that come from negatively stimuli, we need to transform ourselves out of that negativity through self-examination and the motivation to do better.   She also points out that this kind of training begins between parents and their children.  The way we react to a child who is sad can either keep them in their negative space or move them forward with a healthy attitude about whatever had made them sad.   Just like with making a mistake, the negative moment is an invitation to learn as it presents the opportunity to see and transform your feelings.
