Challenging corporal punishment
Before you hit a child, think

Do you feel bad after hitting a child in your care?
Do you remember feeling bad when somebody hit you as a child?
Do you feel that you deserved to be beaten as a child because you were bad?
What are some of the things you got licks for?
Do you still do them?
Do you beat your children for the same things?
Are you still bad?
Do you want your child to be scared of you?
"Yes, hitting people is wrong-and children are people, too."
