    Helping Children with Body Issues podcast...

    Hey I thought this was a good resource and wanted to share it because I think it is relevant to other problems children might have with themselves too, the sentiment summed up in the little sidebar under the video "It's not about whether or not she is fat, it's about the fact that she feels...

    Dealing with "Flat out No!"s...

    Perhaps more active forms of education could be developed that were more engagind and appealed more to children who, in some circumstances, have short attention spans. Education is not One-size-fits-all and that's one of the areas that could be improved in schools. Children <I>do</I> want to...

    Dealing with &quot;Flat out No!&quot;s...

    That could be something to do with the fact that it's been almost impossible to fire teachers in pubic schools since the 60s and since then the standard of teaching has unsurprisingly been getting worse rather thanthe abolition of punishment. If kids don't want to learn in school it has more to...

    SPANKING revisited...

    Because I have asked you a simple question and you have not answered it. You said clearly you have not seen any evidence that a few reasoned spanks are detrimental, and I am saying what evidence would be satisfactory to prove that they were and cause you to recant your position? If what you are...

    Hi that's called a converse error "If there is no fuel in the tank the engine won't run" "The engine won't run therefore there must be no fuel in the tank" well, no not necessarily only one out of three long term smokers get lung cancer, but more people who get lung cancer are long term...

    SPANKING revisited...

    Yes that is true, but I meant to ask you, what evidence would be sufficient to change your mind and agree that spanking is detrimental, even "a few reasoned spanks", and also to appologise to your children for all your spanks and say they were only down to you not knowing any better at the time?

    SPANKING revisited...

    And of course our contention has always been to say that even having a parent-child dynamic where spanking is seen as acceptible is delerious to the child and the parent-child relationship on the psychological level. I know one might turn around and say "Well I have a great relationship with...

    SPANKING revisited...

    Please clarify the difference for my benefit as I am not sure what it is. I mean that non-sarcastically I will give your view a fair hearing. Personally I believe that the initiation of violence by anyone at any time to anyone is abusive. When there were slaves I'm sure there were movements to...

    How to prevent violent criminality in the next generation...

    Rebecca Aponte: You worked with highly violent individuals for many years. Most people are not particularly inclined to work with those kinds of populations. What drew you to work with this population? James Gilligan: That's a good question. I think the ultimate answer, as with most...

    <i></i> Oki dokes people lets reign it in tadamsmar, I'm not sure making a sarcastic statement is the best way to point out the inconsistency you perceive bssage, my worry would be that physically punishing a child for their sexual curiosity might have lasting effects on the way they view...
