Spanking
Have you heard in the news that California’s second highest Assembly Democrat wants to propose a ban on Spanking Young Children? It would be the first state to outlaw parental spanking.
What do you think? Good idea or bad? Too much government in our lives, or is it a good idea to stop parents from hurting their kids? Actually according to an ABC poll, 65 percent of Americans (Southerners are the majority) approve of spanking children - and spanking is allowed in schools in 23 states (though parents can withhold permission).
I will be discussing this issue - the long term effects on spanking and what alternatives you can use that work - with Dr. Larissa Hirsch, Fellow in Children’s Health for KidsHealth.org (www.kidshealth.org is a TERRIFIC website) so tune in and listen - and let me know what you think on the subject.
