A Multi-pronged Approach to Ending Physical Punishment of Children in the United States
Individuals have a moral responsibility and a role in ending physical punishment of children.
- We must resolve not to hit our own children and to be knowledgeable about positive alternatives to physical punishment.
- We should use terms that reflect the real nature of physical punishment like "hitting" rather than euphemisms like "swats" or "pops".
- In our professional roles, we should tell parents and caretakers not to hit children and provide alternatives.
- We should support legal and educational reforms that lead to ending physical punishment of children
