Teaching Humanity Remotely with Dr. Mindy Shaw - Ep 58

In this episode, Dr. Shaw briefly re-visits a topic that is actually more than just a topic... it's one of the 10 governing principles in her recent parenting book which is a guide to effective communication with children.   The principle is that you need to CHECK FOR UNDERSTANDING with your child, particularly around agreements that were already established such as a bedtime or what's for dinner.  Dr. Shaw uses an illustration from her own life whereby she and her partner, in order to communicate more effectively about routine household responsibilities, have taken on a quick but formal form of acknowledgement when setting priorities at home.  As she speaks through her own practice, it becomes a solid example of how it can be applied to parenting and to having children stick with their own commitments.
