Teaching Humanity Remotely with Dr. Mindy Shaw - Ep. 120

In this brief episode, Dr. Shaw delivers a succinct lesson in parenting for this early part of the New Year, and it was inspired by an episode during which a child was exhibiting some unattractive behavior during the recent holidays.   It's easy for a child to get over-tired, over-wrought or over-stimulated by sweets and treats during the holidays, and Dr. Shaw witnessed an incident that served as an important microcosm for what can go right or wrong with behavior.  A child became a bit hysterical and the child's parent did what she knew how to do to mitigate the situation, but Dr. Shaw's philosophy as explained here, is a much more effective strategy for addressing what happened.  There can be long-lasting implications resulting from how a child's behavior is responded to, and Dr. Shaw does a nice job with this quick story of putting parents on the right track.
