By encouraging those who still
advocate corporal punishment to see the facts behind reasons parents today think corporal punishment works and breaking down those reasons to see why those reasons don't stand up to facts and examination, we can protect the most vulnerable members
of society: children, who should be taught how to behave correctly on their own and develop the skills to regulate their own behavior so that they don't need to be constantly
disciplined and who should not be physically hurt so that they obey at that
particular moment, without learning how to regulate themselves in the future.
