Teaching Humanity Remotely with Dr. Mindy Shaw - Ep. 149

On this brief episode, Dr. Shaw dives into the topic of making sure that children develop a strong sense of will.   Children need to develop the stamina and the discipline to meet and conquer challenges, and if they do it early it life it will help them tremendously later on.  The path to developing strong will includes conveying the fact that 100% success is not always attainable and it require the understanding that not knowing something presents the opportunity to learn it.  Dr. Shaw presents a good illustrative example of how her granddaughter approaches learning gymnastics... she falls but she has the drive to overcome her mistakes.   We need to show our children that as adults, WE stumble and get stuck sometimes, but we don't give up, and that makes us stronger.
