Eliminating Corporal Punishment
In at least 60 states, corporal punishment remains an authorised part of the school system. Research on corporal punishment has found it to be counter-productive and relatively ineffective, as well as harmful to physical, psychological and social well-being. This publication clarifies the human rights aspects of this matter - it includes the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child - and provides the main steps to be considered in the process of eliminating corporal punishment. It details practical steps for more constructive and effective child discipline practices.
Conflict as a Context for Understanding Maternal Beliefs About Child Rearing and Children's Misbehavior
Complaints, disputes, disagreements, arguments--whatever terminology is applied, conflicts between parents and their children are a ubiquitous feature of daily family life. These conflicts play a pivotal role in both individual development and the maintenance of family relationships. In this issue of New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, the authors examine mothers? thoughts about, during, and in response to conflict, and reveal how those maternal beliefs impact children?s development. Chapters shed light on mothers? responses to and thoughts about sibling aggression; the role of cultural climate in mothers? use of physical punishment; how mothers? parenting goals and causal attributions vary across child gender and type of transgression; and the relation between maternal beliefs and preschoolers? behaviors with peers. This is the 86th issue of the quarterly journal New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development.
Global Pathways to Abolishing Physical Punishment
This book describes the unfolding of a global phenomenon: the legal prohibition of physical punishment of children. Until thirty years ago, this near-universal practice was considered appropriate, necessary and a parental right. But a paradigm shift in conceptions of childhood has led to a global movement to redefine it as violence and as a violation of children’s rights. Today, many countries have prohibited it in all settings, including the home. This remarkable shift reflects profound cultural changes in thinking about children and their development, parent-child relationships, and the role of the state in family life. It has involved actors in many sectors, including academia, government, non-governmental organizations and children themselves. Documenting the stories of countries that have either prohibited corporal punishment of children or who are moving in that direction, this volume will serve as a sourcebook for scholars and advocates around the world who are interested in the many dimensions of physical punishment and its elimination.
