A thank you note, and even a shiny, red apple, are nice.

But Kansas State University child development specialist Bradford Wiles said being kind to your children’s teachers is one of the best things parents can do.

“I see supporting teachers as an expression of our appreciation for them,” Wiles said. “While thank you notes and volunteering are helpful, I think it really makes more impact when you do nice things for teachers, and you express your concerns with kindness.

“Teachers,” he adds, “put up with an awful lot of difficulty for very little recognition. We know recognition is not why they teach. But it still makes a difference for you to recognize them and treat them kindly.”

Scheduling a physical with the doctor is an important step in addressing a health concern, but it’s not enough.

In fact, a Kansas State University health professional says all Americans need to be active in scheduling and following through with an annual wellness exam.

“A physical usually is to identify a concern, maybe diagnose a disease, or when we think something is not right,” said Elaine Johannes, the Kansas Health Foundation’s Distinguished Professor of Community Health at Kansas State University. “We go in, we get checked and, thankfully, everything turns out okay.”
