GOOD CITIZENSHIP - Teaching Humanity Remotely with Dr. Mindy Shaw - Ep. 240

In this podcast episode, Dr. Shaw addresses the notion of teaching our children good citizenship.  She notes that it is similar to good sportsmanship wherein knowing how to lose and to win graciously may be the most important part of playing a game.  Teaching good citizenship can start with simple tasks like cleaning the environment, but it can also be demonstrated in so many ways... kindness being an example or showing honesty or respect.  Especially now when bullying and (politically) authoritarianism seems to be on the rise, it's important to teach positive behavior socially.  Additionally, teaching humanity should not be tied to a material reward.  Rewards should be intrinsic, and that needs to be modeled for our children by parents and educators.  Also, learning should be about the process and not a product.
