I've been looking everywhere for books which advise people to use corporal punishment (CP) but I could find almost none in the market. Yes, the world is going towards nurturing with love. Love means having the patience to talk nicely and yes, let the boys and girls retaliate as they like and yes, continue to talk nicely and so on...
Blah blah blah...You'll find a lot of books in the market encouraging parents to use LOVE in educating their children and very few books or none at all talking about the use of CP. But from the research I read, people around the world are still using CP to an extend of abusing it! And yes, now, CP and abuse are two totally different things.
CP should be:
1) used only as the LAST resort - when warnings are given and yet the child didn't learn from his/her mistake and heed the warnings.
2) used with an instrument such as a cane or stick is used
3) only one or two strikes on the palm and not anywhere else (which the pain is bearable for the child)
4) followed by explanations on why it is used.
5) used only when the parents/guardians or caretakers are in a calm mood so not to cause any injury to the child.
6) used with wisdom
