23. The subject that could best help the parents like to abuse their children
Mon Jul 2, 2012, 07:38 PM

(and that includes a larger segment of parents than we want to admit) is how to discipline a child without harming him or her.

Parents tend to become very frustrated and then discipline the child in the way that they were disciplined by their parents or caregivers. And usually, that's not the best thing they could do.

There is lots of information available to professionals on how to motivate and discipline a child without anger or physical punishment, etc., but it needs to be made available to parents -- for free -- in a format that they will enjoy and that will make them feel good about using those methods.
