Hi Barbara,

1. Arriving next week......

ROBERT E. LARZELERE PhD
Associate Professor of Psychology Dept. Human Development & Family Science - Oklahoma State University


Thank you for all the support received in helping get Dr Larzelere to NZ. We are well on the way to raising the funds needed for this tour.

He arrives next week, and is already booked on the following shows:
TV3 Campbell Live

More FM
Radio 531 PI
and more bookings each day ......

and is meeting politicians from:
NZ First
Maori Party
National
United Future
and is also meeting Sue Bradford!


His expertise will help answer the following questions regarding the Anti-Smacking Parental Correction debate:
1. what is the sound scientific evidence on the benefits / harms of smacking?
2. how does appropriate smacking compare with other forms of parental correction in terms of short-term and long-term outcomes?
3. do smacking bans reduce child abuse according to international experience?
