Teaching Humanity Remotely with Dr. Mindy Shaw - Ep. 99

In this very brief edition of this podcast series, Dr. Shaw shares her point of view on pressuring our children to learn.  This topic was inspired but recent tutoring that Dr. Shaw has been doing with a child who is struggling slightly as they are learning to read.  Dr. Shaw shares her own family's experience with this situation, and she also shares what she learned about putting undue pressure on a child about their pace of learning.  Different children have different personalities and skill sets, and she encourages not to add unnecessary drama to your child's life by imposing an emotional attachment to their pace of learning.  The learning will come, and it's an important lesson for all parents and educators.
