Join us for the final episode of the “Should Smacking be Banned in England and Northern Ireland?” debate. Our three guests tackle tough questions head-on as they openly discuss their views on smacking and whether it should be banned. From examining its impact on children to exploring the cultural acceptance of smacking, we delve into the consequences in our IF THIS THEN THAT segment.

Next, we reveal the ONE HABIT each guest has developed based on their stance on children being smacked. Get an inside look at how these strong beliefs shape their everyday actions and approaches to handling parental stress and dysregulation.

Prepare for lively views as our guests present their arguments, whether they support or oppose banning smacking in England and Northern Ireland. Expect a mix of raw honesty, straightforward reflections, and a touch of sass – because at Parents Who Think (PWT), we thrive on the clash of ideas, never settling for empty agreement.

As host Danusia concludes the debate, she shares her personal perspective on whether smacking should be banned. After listening to this concluding debate conversation, take a moment to reflect: Has this debate changed your view? Has it made you think about your beliefs around a ban on smacking? Ultimately, ask yourself: Did this episode make you think? At Parents Who Think we present the debates, and you see what you think.
