On Tuesday, I had the wonderful opportunity to be a guest on the Ricki Lake show, where the topic was disciplining your children.
No matter what your stance is on public shaming, or spanking, this episode was a DEFINITE conversation starter.
I had the privilege also of being part of a live video streaming discussion that evening along with Dr. Harvey Karp, author of the The Happiest Baby on the Block
During the live discussion, there were thousands of people commenting and asking questions, as this topic in particular was very engaging.

It is never OK to hit a child. School paddling is legalized child abuse and it must stop. Grown men hitting school children with boards is wrong. Thankfully 31 states have banned school paddling but 19 including Texas still allow this child abuse in schools. Tell Gov. Rick Perry to stop it now!
