Chil discipline is a topic that draws from a wide range of interested fields, such as the professional practice of behavior analysis, Developmental Psychology, Social Work, and various religious perspectives. Methods of child discipline vary widely between cultures and have in recent times changed considerably in many of them. In western society, there has been much debate in recent years over the use of corporal punishment for children in general, giving raise to Positive Parenting, where rather than punish the child for their bad behaviour, their good behavior is encouraged.
