About this episode

Dr. Shaw discusses the importance of maintaining a positive outlook and its benefits for both adults and children.

In this brief but inspiring episode, Dr. Shaw reminds us to avoid negativity in our lives and let the good stuff in. She points out that we have the choice to decide the direction and feeling of our daily life, and she even uses a simple example to show how something that could be perceived as not-so-great can be just wonderful IF we allow that perception to happen. And she also reminds us that this is not just a lesson for adults, but that children will benefit from having a positive outlook on things as well, and that could be an important and powerful tool for them as they grow and go through life.
