This book presents 15 effective interventions designed to stop and prevent parents from physically punishing their children. Each chapter reviews a different intervention, including its evidence base, generalizability across populations and contexts, and ease of implementation in community and mental health settings. Some strategies explicitly discourage parents from using physical punishment, while others focus on teaching alternative ways to manage children’s behavior.
