Pediatricians are a source of advice for parents and guardians concerning the management of child behavior, including discipline strategies that are used to teach appropriate behavior and protect their children and others from the adverse effects of challenging behavior. Aversive disciplinary strategies, including all forms of corporal punishment and yelling at or shaming children, are minimally effective in the short-term and not effective in the long-term. With new evidence, researchers link corporal punishment to an increased risk of negative behavioral, cognitive, psychosocial, and emotional outcomes for children. In this Policy Statement, the American Academy of Pediatrics provides guidance for pediatricians and other child health care providers on educating parents about positive and effective parenting strategies of discipline for children at each stage of development as well as references to educational materials. This statement supports the need for adults to avoid physical punishment and verbal abuse of children.
儿科医生是为父母和监护人提供有关儿童行为管理建议的来源，包括用于教授适当行为并保护儿童及其他人免受挑战性行为的不良影响的纪律策略。包括体罚和对儿童大喊大叫或羞辱在内的不良纪律策略在短期内效果甚微，长期来看则无效。随着新证据的出现，研究人员将体罚与儿童行为、认知、心理社会和情感结果的负面风险联系起来。在这份政策声明中，美国儿科学会为儿科医生和其他儿童保健提供者提供指导，帮助他们为每个发育阶段的儿童提供有关积极有效的育儿纪律策略的教育，并提供教育材料的参考。该声明支持成年人避免对儿童进行身体惩罚和言语虐待。
