Bullying: What Families Need to Know
Bullying is aggressive behavior that is intentional and that involves an imbalance of power or strength. Typically, it is repeated over time. A child who is being bullied has a hard time defending himself or herself. Bullying can take many forms, such as hitting or punching (physical bullying); teasing or name-calling (verbal bullying); intimidation using gestures or social exclusion (nonverbal bullying or emotional bullying); and sending insulting messages by e-mail (cyberbullying). This document has helpful information for families in how to recognize bullying, and how to prevent it.

Physical Health and Development: A Booklet for Kansas Families
A child’s early development builds a foundation for later learning. The purpose of this booklet is to introduce families to some of the skills, called developmental milestones, that children develop and the order in which they happen. A sampling of ideas to help develop these skills is found in the following pages. Children develop differently, even in the same family. Two children, side by side, will not necessarily have the same skills at the same time. This booklet has been compiled to provide information on physical health and development in young children and is intended for use by Kansas families. This booklet weaves a common thread of understanding related to what health and development look like during the early childhood years. Suggested Use of This Document • As a starting point for conversations about the development of children. • As a guide for families to help support their child’s development through suggested activities. If you have concerns about the progress of your child, consider speaking with your child’s doctor, local health department, teacher, or request a free screening by contacting the following agencies: For children birth to three years old, contact: Kansas Department of Health, Infant Toddler Services (800) 332-6262 For children over three years old, contact: Kansas State Department of Education (800) 203-9462 Let us know if we can be of further help!
