Next one’ was Florence Lafleur. Ten years old, sent for repeated tardiness. As she entered, she already looked terrified. I could see it was not only her first time here, in her four years at the institute, she had never been punished. Of course, she feared what lay ahead. Another finding of this study is that parents’ beliefs about the necessity of physical punishment differed depending on the verb presented. More than five times as many parents agreed that some children need to be spanked than agreed that some children need to be hit. Consistent with previous findings, [ 43] these parents appear to compartmentalize “spanking” into what they consider to be a less harmful, more acceptable, and perhaps even useful form of violence. Objectively, spanking is hitting; the parent is striking the child. The only difference is in the word used to describe the act. This finding suggests that public education messaging to prevent corporal punishment should target the erasure of this false dichotomy. By making it evident that spanking is indeed a form of hitting, parents might perceive their actions differently and their acceptance of physical punishment should decrease. Gershoff ET. Spanking and child development: we know enough now to stop hitting our children. Child Dev Perspect. 2013;7(3):133–7. The following are answers to common questions about spanking therapy. Is spanking therapy always sexual?

One night I was staying at my friend's house and I had my period. A little later, during dinner, my friend's brother came screaming down the stairs, yelling, 'Who has their period?' It turns out that the dog had gotten my tampon out of the trash and chewed it up on her brother's floor! I was so embarrassed!" Third, the present findings indicate that it is important for parents to understand that spanking and hitting are the same action – these are both acts of punitive violence. This may help to shift the perception held by many people that spanking is a normal part of child-rearing and help parents to make the decision to learn constructive ways of guiding children’s learning. Raising awareness that spanking is a form of hitting may begin to shift societal norms and decrease tolerance of violence against children in the name of discipline.

I turned the chair that stood before it around and sat down, reaching for the plimsoll waiting on the desk. Then lets get those trousers down”. I opened the boys trousers and slid them down to his knees. Then I guided him into position over my knees. Gez Couch, who took over as landlord of The White Swan just last year, has already decided to call time on his ownership of the pub. And with those words, I started slippering him. I dealt out the strokes slow and methodically, alternating cheeks. By the fourth one, the boy was already sobbing, but he took his thrashing without interference.

Frechette S, Romano E. How do parents label their physical disciplinary practices? A focus on the definition of corporal punishment. Child Abuse Negl. 2017;71:92–103. Second, to reduce intergenerational transmission of punitive violence, it is important to change underlying beliefs that influence such behaviours. Canada’s law still justifies physical punishment of children between the ages of 2 and 12 years within particular parameters [ 56]. This law sends the message that physical punishment is ‘normal’, effective, and sometimes necessary contradicting the efforts of public education initiatives and perpetuating the beliefs that have been repeatedly demonstrated to contribute to punitive violence against children. At the highest level, law reform and policy changes can transform societal norms or normative beliefs [ 47, 48]. In countries where population-level data are available, prohibitions against physical punishment have been followed by dramatic declines in approval and use of multiple forms of corporal punishment (including “spanking”) [ 57]. Law reform must be supported by public health intervention strategies such as universal awareness-raising campaigns and consistent public messaging that indicates that children should never be hit [ 6]. No, Williams. I want you to serve as an example for the others. It seems to me that you wanted others to take a look at your posterior, so we will let them, don’t you agree?” So, if you thought before that my job was easy, think again. Of course, the girl needed punishment. Her behaviour wasn’t appropriate at all, and it was intolerable. But it was understandable, too. Linde-Louise, please sent in the next one. Oh, and remember that Woods and Fletcher will be last, and come in together.”
