I realize this is an older article, but I like what it mentions. Banning corporal punishment removes another form of control from the adult. Today our society notices few differences in children and adults however I think it is important that the child realizes he is under the adult. In order to maintain the boundaries set by corporal punishment, it is necessary that it be enforced by both the parent and the teacher. The child can not have mixed signals of his/her boundary lines. The punishment must be consistent to produce the desired behavior from the child. In the case of nurses practicing corporal punishment, it is my opinion that the two completely separate issues. The role of a teacher is one of great impact which may affect the child�s life more than their own parent. Generally, the role of a nurse is concerned with the child�s physical health while the child is subordinate to the charge of their parent/guardian. The nurse should look to the child�s parent or guardian as to how to discipline the child. It is not the place of the nurse to train them. The primary role of disciplinarian is the parent within the child�s life. However, when the child is in school and under the responsibility of the teacher, it is the teacher�s job to discipline the child. The teacher and parent should use only the amount of discipline necessary to get the desired behavior from the child. Corporal punishment is a useful tool, as long as it is not abused.
