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.
