Teaching Humanity Remotely with Dr. Mindy Shaw
Kids & Family:Education for Kids
In this very personal episode, Dr. Shaw discusses the need for parents to model well-being for their children. Her premise is that if a parent, for example, has fear about something, it's healthy for that parent to allow their children to see and experience the adult's experience with fear because those same children will have their own feelings of fear about something and it's important to demonstrate that that's normal and okay. It's a personal story because Dr. Shaw uses an example from her own very recent experience, but primarily this discussion is about encouraging parents to walk their walk and talk their talk so that when a child goes through something and is trying to navigate a social and/or emotional challenge, they can see that even their parents as role models might go through the same thing. Overcoming challenges develops resilience, and that's a great quality for children to develop.
