Which “camp” are you in?

The pro-punishment camp

You use spanking and other forms of corporal punishment, endorse it, and believe it's necessary.
    “What that kid needs is a good spanking!”
    “I was spanked and I turned out okay.”
    Spare the rod spoil the child! (Not quoted, because there is no such quote in the Bible.)
    “If you don’t spank or punish kids in ways that hurt, they’ll never learn their lesson.”
    “A little swat on the butt, hand or cheek won’t hurt them.”
    “As long as you follow rules for using corporal punishment, so it’s not abuse, 
       it’s okay to use it.”
    “I’d rather spank my child than let them run wild.”
    “Hey, if it ‘works,’ do it!”
    “Show them who’s boss.” 
    “You should make kids feel bad when they misbehave.” 
    “Make sure the punishment is unpleasant.” 
    “Do it because I said so, don’t ask why.” 
    “That will teach them a lesson.”

The reactive-punishment camp

You don’t want to spank or use other forms of corporal punishment, but don’t know what else to do, so you either still spank or don’t discipline effectively.
    "I don’t really want to spank, but I get so frustrated and angry and run out of options!"
    "I feel just awful after spanking my child, but I don’t know what else to do!"
    "I was just so angry I lost it."
    "I threaten to spank, but don’t follow through, because I really don’t want to spank them."
    “Stand them in a corner until a timer goes off.” 
    “Take away their favorite activity.” 
    “Remove all their toys, bed and sheets from their room.”
    "In all the years I spanked, I wanted my kids to take responsibility for their actions, but what I was doing made it impossible for them to do that. They could only focus on me hurting them."

OR...The Positive Evidence-Based Parenting Camp?

The comments above reflect very common beliefs about the proper way to discipline a child. Some are even actual advice from parenting “experts”! Problem is, none are discipline! They are, however, forms of punishment. What’s the difference?

Despite decades of research  and public education about the negative effects of spanking and other forms of corporal punishment, spanking is still a controversial hot topic and about 80% of American parents say they've hit their young children. This usually because they reside in the first two “camps” above.

Are you in the second “camp,” don’t really want to spank, but don’t know what else to do? Or  want research to back up your choice not to spank, due to pressure from the first camp? If you said “yes” to either, then this teleseminar resource package will empower you with the knowledge and skills to discipline your children without using corporal punishment.

This audio resource package features

Dr. Kerby Alvy of the National Effective Parenting Initiative (NEPI) discussing the controversial topic of corporal punishment with parenting professionals and real-life parents, just like you. It was quite thought-provoking! 

Through this discussion, you’ll discover:
  • What research says about the effectiveness of corporal punishment, with several bonus resources with the most current research.
  • Different perspectives about the common reasons parents use corporal punishment, with a bonus resource by Jim Rogers.
  • What discipline tools you want to have at your disposal, as healthy alternatives to corporal punishment.

After learning effective discipline tools as alternatives to corporal punishment, these Parents Toolshop® graduates said...

    “I used to expect immediate obedience from my children and spank them if they didn’t comply. Now I understand the difference between punishment and discipline and options I can use that ‘work’ even better!”

    “It was hard not to turn to the quick fix that never solved anything and left everyone upset, including me. Now that I know what to do instead, we find solutions and all feel better afterwards.”

    “The positive change in my children’s behavior was amazing when I stopped spanking.” 

    “It's wonderful to see the joy, happiness, and love in my children's eyes, instead of fear when they look at me.” 

    “I thought if I stopped spanking it meant I’d stop disciplining. Now that I know the difference and have the words to say and actions to follow, I can respond calmly and encourage them to talk things through. Now, because they have the freedom (because I'm not making them feel bad) to look at themselves and their actions, they choose better behavior, are responsible, and self-disciplined. It's awesome.”
