This week on Medical Minefield, the team is talking about smacking children, after the Government rejected a call to ban it in England. Was this the right move? Barney and Eve speak with mother of three Christine, who says she does not regret smacking her children when they were younger and claims they have since grown into wonderful adults; and from Dr Robert Larzelere of Oklahoma State University, and expert on child disciplinary methods, who says smacking is a good method for getting unruly children to cooperate when used properly.
