Stop Abuse Before It Starts: Learn The Discipline Difference

This Child Abuse Prevention Month, we're challenging caregivers to rethink discipline. True discipline teaches and guides children with patience and respect, helping them grow into responsible adults. Punishment, by contrast, often stems from frustration and causes harm whether emotional or physical. Research shows that positive discipline techniques reduce abuse cases by up to 60% while strengthening family bonds. Whether you're a parent, teacher, or community member, you can help break the cycle. Let’s replace fear with understanding, and punishment with lessons that last a lifetime.
