Abstract
Rewarding positive behavior, and not corporal punishment, should be the main mode of discipline by schools and families, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), which wants it to be banned in all states by law. First, it causes harm to children. Second, it doesn't work. And third, it leads to even worse behavior.
