What to do instead of spanking Help children feel safe by establishing clear expectations. Reward children’s good behavior. Find a consequence that fits the action when a child has misbehaved. Use time out in stressful situations. Read The Case Against Spanking by Irwin A. Hyman, available for loan from the CAN Council library. Call the CAN Council for the booklet “Disciplining Your Child”, an overview of positive behavior management. Go back to discipline page
