Background
According to the U.S Alliance To End the Hitting of Children, paddling in schools is the leading cause of physical child abuse, and is linked to increased anxiety, agression and drug abuse later one in the child’s life [1]. Approximately 65-80% of parent’s in the U.S use spanking to discipline their children, and 30% of parent’s use spanking on children under the age of one [2]. There are increasing research studies that show spanking is linked to future negative outcomes in a child's life including decreased IQ and increased adult abusive behaviors [3].
There are several studies that show how the implementation of Positive Discipline technique produces positive outcomes. A study of school wide implementation of positive discipline in a lower-income Sacramento elementary school over a four-year period showed that the number of suspensions, instances of vandalism and improvement in classroom atmosphere [4].
