Teaching Humanity Remotely with Dr. Mindy Shaw
Kids & Family:Education for Kids
In this brief episode, Dr. Shaw touches on an important angle of good sportsmanship (a subject that she tackled in one of her socio-emotional learning books (the one found here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08HTL1BB9) and it's the notion of not always needing to win. Dr. Shaw acknowledges that competition can be healthy and that it has its own life lessons attached, but that it's also important for children to learn about the cooperation necessary while playing a team sport. She also likens the notion of "losing" to the concept of making a mistake... she is a huge proponent that there are countless learning lessons held in the mis-take, and that not winning a game can offer a similar experience. The idea is to have experiences that can and will contribute a great deal to one's personal growth, and being on either side of the end result of a competition has a reward.
