The care of corporal punishment: Conceptions of early childhood discipline strategies among parents and grandparents in a poor and urban area in Tanzania

“…The transferability of these findings to other settings requires further national and international investigations as well as contributions from a historical point of view. The tendency to regard corporal punishment not as violence but as an act of love and a necessary form of discipline, as in beating with care, is far from unique and is a common argument used among defenders of corporal punishment as a discipline strategy (Lansdown, 2000).

The time is long overdue for similar scrutiny to be turned upon parents' right to hit their children.…”

“…Violence ‘involves a lack of respect for the victim, and a belief that the perpetrator is entitled to behave in ways that are not reciprocal’; a belief well challenged with regard to men's violence against women but which persistently influences many childrearing parents (Lansdown, 2000, p. 417).
