FRIENDSHIPS - Teaching Humanity Remotely with Dr. Mindy Shaw - Ep. 231

In this brief but very valuable episode, Dr. Shaw shares some timeless wisdom regarding maintaining friendships as quality relationships.  For a long time she has promoted the concept that friendships, relationships and partnerships are only truly succeeding if all parties involved are lifted up.   No one needs nor should anyone tolerate a relationship where you are made to feel worse or smaller or less than someone else.  She points to the trusting environment that she created year after year in her classroom as a successful learning environment BECAUSE there was trust and a feeling of safety.  She also reminds us that exposing our children appropriately to the ups and downs of our own relationships will serve to teach them the right path in developing and maintaining their own friendships of worth and meaning.
