I am writing to offer educators and health care professionals
a supply of our free 16-page booklet, "Plain Talk About
Spanking," for distribution in their programs. If, after
reading the online edition at www.nospank.net/pt2008.htm , you
decide to use it, please let me know how many you want and
where to mail them.
Here's what some experts have written to us about Plain Talk:
Alice Miller, Psychotherapist and internationally renowned
author of (among other books) the best-selling For Your Own
Good: Hidden Cruelty in Child-Rearing and the Roots of
Violence -- “Thank you so much for your clear, true, brave and
convincing booklet. It should be offered free to every parent
immediately after the birth of EACH of their children.”
Janice Christenson, Ph.D., Clinical Psychologist --“ ‘Plain
Talk’ is my #1 tool in helping parents make the decision to
stop spanking. I can’t tell you how many have come in after
reading it and said, ‘I’ll never spank my child (children)
again!’ ”
Katherine Bensinger, M.S., LCPC, Program Director, Parenting
Education Program, Community Counseling Centers of Chicago --
"This is the most articulately written argument against
spanking I have ever seen. A free resource like this is
invaluable as we serve a low income population out of a
Community Mental Health Center. If every pediatrician in this
country gives this booklet to their patient's parents on the
first visit and recommends a short discussion on the second
visit, we will have a reduction in child abuse."
James A. Deutch, DSW, LCSW, Lecturer, Family and Consumer
Sciences, U. Of Hawaii; Past President, Family Education
Centers of Hawaii -- “I have made ‘Plain Talk About Spanking’
required reading for my parenting classes at the University of
Hawaii and for parents at our Family Education Training
Center. Thank you for helping me teach that discipline and
spanking are not the same. As an Adlerian family counselor,
your booklet is congruent with my professional and personal
beliefs. Both of my now grown children were successfully
parented without ever being spanked.”
Janelle Kaye, M.A., Instructor of Speech Communication, South
Central College, Minnesota -- "Students report to me that they
have changed their views on spanking and discipline as a
result of reading this booklet. I hope to be able to continue
ordering this wonderful booklet for as long as I teach."
