Disciplining Kids

In the non-fictional article by Shirley Henderson, "To Spank or not to Spank", Henderson explores the various ways of disciplining children. The author describes the different ways of disciplining kids through physical and non-physical ways of punishment in order to inform parents of the good and bad outcomes of each method.

The article appears to focus on a topic that brings out different opinions from various readers. For example, readers with kids of their own may have different methods of discipline for their children rather than the readers without kids of their own. According to Henderson's research, parents tend to practice more of a physical approach to disciplining kids. She also brings in the account of how ones race effects their technique of disciplinary action.
