When two four year old kids can be taught by a skilled teacher to mediate their own conflict and find a solution agreeable to both then there is no excuse that people in a global culture can’t be raised with fairness, caring and respect.

Shame of it is I was her most consistent emotional support and actually tried to negate the drug use. It spiraled out of control once we went our separate ways. Her parents just couldn’t emotionally connect with their daughters.

Talbot Mon, 29 Apr 2013 22:50:29 +0000 http://theattachedfamily.com/membersonly/?p=3312#comment-14288 I’m sorry, but I find the title of this piece misleading to those who might be limited to reading only the subject title. While you go on to discredit pro-spanking ‘research’, in actuality, there is none… not according to any professional journal related to the care and/or treatment of children. ‘Research’ should not be categorized as such unless published in a peer-reviewed professional journal.

Fact is, there has never been such a published study indicating positive outcomes of spanking children under any criteria, whether it be as a form of punishment, a teaching model, a method of long-term behavior modification, or a treatment of children that does not produce a negative impact on the parent-child relationship.

The article is otherwise very well done and informative.

Other than these, I like the article and I completely agree.
