Non-Violent Parenting Programs Effective

A
study done in rural Thailand by researchers of School of Medicine, Walailak
University showed that non-violent parenting programs are effective in raising
awareness about better ways to discipline the child rather than following the
traditional harsh method of yelling, spanking or hitting children with objects
with the intention to punish or discipline the child. Physical and verbal abuse
leads to harmful consequences for the child's behaviour. The study was
conducted among 85 subjects with 43 i the control group and 42 in the
intervention group. The knowledge about effective parenting techniques improved
in the intervention group when it was given in three-month intervals for three
times. Their attitude towards corporal punishment also changed compared to the
control group.
