The science of physical punishment and spanking

Send us a text

I know this is a topic that might cause some controversy, but I think this is an important one to have.

When it comes to parenting, I always suggest we follow our gut and trust ourselves, however, given the strong evidence that suggests we should avoid using physical punishment with our children, not spanking our children is something that I stand firmly behind.

In today's solo episode with Cindy (which also happens to be our 50th episode!), we discuss why physical punishment may lead to several outcomes when our children are adults.
