April 28, 2016 - UPDATE ON WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU HIT YOUR KIDS: Fifty years of research involving over 160,000 children shows unequivocally that spanking is not only
ineffective as a form of discipline, but is detrimental to the mental health of children and adults.
«Based on research and experience, more and more local districts are rejecting the use
of ineffective strategies like corporal punishment
as an acceptable
form of school
discipline in favor
of effective techniques, like the Positive Behavioral Support system favored by most educators,» said Vitaglione.
