The Case against Spanking: How to Discipline Your Child without Hitting
By Irwin A and Hyman Ed.D.

This book examine child discipline, with spanking presented as an effective or ineffective method (depending on the viewpoint). A father and a family therapist for 30 years, Hyman (psychology, Temple Univ.) bases his discipline models on research and clinical observations. He offers parents a number of alternative strategies to physical punishment, including understanding child psychology, systematizing rewards and punishments, and defusing anger in both parent and child.

In contrast, Pritchett, a mother and stepmother, offers a discipline plan based on spanking as the only effective deterrent in training children to be obedient and well behaved. Her book begins with a description of spanking (two to five hard whacks on the bottom with a paddle followed by loving admonition).

Ban computers from schools until children reach age 9, says expert
Telegraph UK June 13, 2010

Children should be banned from using computers in schools until they are nine-years-old because the early use of technology is destroying their attention spans, a leading expert said yesterday.
