Corporal punishment (CP) is the physical force applied on children by parents, guardians, teachers to control and discipline the child. CP includes methods such as hitting, slapping, pinching, by using items such as belts, sticks, pins etc. Children are also made to remain in painful body postures or prohibited to eliminate urine or stool or pencils are placed between student’s fingers and pressed to create pain. Still today, it is a common method of disciplining children around the globe and there is a very delicate line between physical abuse and disciplining a child.
