Teaching Humanity Remotely with Dr. Mindy Shaw - Ep 25

In this podcast, Dr. Shaw continues to review her "Ten Governing Principles" for effective communication with children that are featured in her brand new parenting guide just out and available at Amazon.com.  This new book was first announced during this Dr. Shaw podcast a number of weeks ago, and the concept for this new parenting guide is to help parents and educators communicate effectively with young children.  The book has the appropriate title of I Like How You Speak to Me... A Parent's Guide to Effective Communication with Children, and the opening section of that book lists Dr. Shaw's Ten Governing Principles for effective communication. Dr. Shaw promised that for ten straight podcasts she would delve into a discussion of one guiding principle per episode, and this is the seventh of those ten.  Her seventh governing principle, the one she discusses here, is TO HAVE HIGH EXPECTATIONS.  If you know Dr. Shaw or have been following her work for a while now, then you know that this principle is very much in-keeping with her philosophy about education and about life in general.  As Dr. Shaw discusses what it means to have and maintain high expectations for your children as well as for yourself, she offers up several examples, including one self-deprecating tale.  In the end, you'll see how this governing principle is so important and how it works intermingled with the other 9 governing principles outlined in her parenting guide.
