Did you know that 19 states in the US still allow corporal punishment in schools? In this episode of Parenting Decolonized, I welcome Founding Director of Arkansans Against School Paddling, Tate Aldrich, to talk about the harsh reality of corporal punishment in American schools and how this educational watchdog and advocacy group is fighting it.
In this episode, we talk about…
The intersectionality of racism, corporal punishment, and child welfare.
How parents and teachers can get involved and help ban corporal punishment and paddling.
The effects of trauma on children’s brains and how that affects their futures.
Addressing the colonizer mindset as a white parent.
….and more!
Stay tuned for more info on my upcoming Non-Violent Communication and Discipline Workshops!
