School is back in session—and at HomeWord, it’s Teacher Appreciation Week! Teaching is one of the most demanding and impactful professions, shaping the lives of children and young adults every day. Today, Dr. Jim Burns sits down with Dr. Kevin Leman—renowned psychologist, best-selling author of over 50 books, and trusted voice on parenting and family—and Kristin Leman O’Reilly, Director of Curriculum and Instruction at the award-winning Leman Academy of Excellence, with nearly 30 years of experience in education and leadership.
Together, they explore the life-changing impact of great teachers, how parents can encourage and partner with educators, and how small, consistent acts of care can make all the difference. From understanding birth order in the classroom to creating a safe space for students, Dr. Leman and Kristin offer practical, encouraging advice to help teachers lead with joy—not just obligation—and leave a lasting legacy.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
