National Child Abuse Awareness Month With Dr. Lauren Burge, Child Abuse Pediatrician & Dr. Andrea Sebastian, Child Abuse Nurse Practitioner: Part 3 – Corporal Punishment

This podcast episode aired during National Child Abuse Prevention Month. Dr. Lisa Beasley, host of the That's Healthful podcast, facilitates a discussion with Dr. Lauren Burge, Child Abuse Pediatrician at Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital in Memphis, TN, and Dr. Andrea Sebastian, Child Abuse Nurse Practitioner at Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital about Corporal Punishment (CP). In this episode, we discuss corporal punishment (CP), a controversial and sensitive topic. What are the recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP)? The discussion also focuses on the trauma that CP causes in children. When does CP cross the line? Which states still have laws on the books allowing CP in schools? What role does culture play in CP? What are alternative strategies to CP? Parenting is a very personal thing and individualized. Understanding approaches other than CP is essential to minimizing the long-term damage that CP can create.
