You can write your post in a number of different formats.<\/p>\n
1.)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Letter to your parents: Write a letter to your parents. Tell them how their choice to spank you has harmed you. Tell them about how it affected you then, and how it continues to affect you now. (Feel free to include any information on alternatives to spanking that you have found effective.)<\/p>\n
2.)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Letter to young parents: Write a cautionary letter to young parents. Tell them why and how the practice of spanking affected (and continues to affect) you. (Feel free to include any information on alternatives to spanking that you have found effective.)<\/p>\n
3.)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Letter to young parents (2): Write a letter explaining why you as a parent chose to stop spanking your children. Include your experiences and the factors that most made you change your mind. (Feel free to include any information on alternatives to spanking that you have found effective.)<\/p>\n
4.)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Informational piece: Write a few paragraphs on why you believe spanking is damaging for children. Include any personal experience, or just some facts that made you come to your conclusion. (Feel free to include any information on alternatives to spanking that you have found effective.)<\/p>\n
5.)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Creative: If you find it hard to express yourself with just words, please feel free to submit a more unique commentary. I will accept drawings, photos, videos, art work or poetry to this project as well. (Feel free to include any information on alternatives to spanking that you have found effective.)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
I\u2019d encourage anyone this applies to to write up something and send it to Sarah, because she wants as many responses as possible. I\u2019m really glad Sarah is doing this project, and when she\u2019s finished I plan to provide a link to her project in my section on Michael and Debi Pearl and authoritarian parenting.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
