Pediatricians strengthen stance against spanking kids

Discipline continues to be a hot topic. Pediatricians are weighing in.  

"In a new policy statement, published in the journal Pediatrics on Monday, the pediatricians' group recommends that adults caring for children use "healthy forms of discipline" -- such as positive reinforcement of appropriate behaviors, setting limits and setting expectations -- and not use spanking, hitting, slapping, threatening, insulting, humiliating or shaming." http://ow.ly/SXgJ30mw9nK
