About this Webinar

"It works!" "I don't believe there are downsides to spanking!", "Spanking is not hitting and certainly not abuse!" , "It is a normal and necessary part of parenting in my community!".  These arguments and many others are commonly used by parents to defend their use of spanking as a discipline technique. While many parents are continuing to spank their children, researchers are starting to reveal meta-analyses that conflict with the ideas behind the arguments in favor of spanking. This 90-minute webinar will provide service professionals with an in-depth look at spanking, the research behind it, and its effects on children's development.

Dr. Elizabeth Gershoff, PhD, is an Associate Professor at the University of Texas at Austin. She is a developmental psychologist who studies how parenting generally and discipline, in particular, affect the development of children.
