Episode 6: Should We Spank Children?
In this episode I ask the kids for their views on corporal punishment. Seems like it's a subject kids can understand and have a view on pretty early on!
The second part of the show is a review of some recent news articles from the Telegraph and a meta-analysis of studies on the effects of corporal punishment.
Enjoy!

Also Ali and I discuss the effects of cuts to education, and why parents should help fundraise. Finally, a mini-humanists discussion with Bobby on the ideal school!

Host David (a Humanist Dad in North London) interviews kids - the Mini-Humanists - each week with a topic to get them thinking critically. I believe that by discussing the big questions, kids are better equipped to deal with an increasingly secular world, so if you're a Humanist parent or just interested in how to foster good critical thinking, this show is for you.
This week's show.

This is a bonus show, where I interview the UK politicians who appeared in last night's UK Election debate. There may also be an appearance from a very special guest.
I managed to catch Jeremy Corbyn in the dressing room and it took off from there.
Enjoy!
