Anger Management

Learn to manage anger anywhere, in twelve instructional sessions.

Session 10: Corporal Punishment and Parenting

    This is the final session of the SimmerDown Online program, and all the skills we talked about have been covered: 

  • Relaxing  
  • Enduring discomfort  
  • Asserting oneself appropriately  
  • Changing blaming thinking  
  • Hearing the needs of others  

 

     For this last session, let's apply all we have learned to a specific kind of situation:  parenting.  We'll discuss corporal punishment, and review the arguments that are commonly made in favor of spanking kids, to see if they hold water.

      Good luck in your future anger work!
