Corporal Punishment-- refers to the presence of mild to extreme physical punishment used by a parent or caregiver to discipline a child. While common as a child-rearing practice in the past and in certain cultures, hurting a child for any reason is considered abusive by many people today and frowned upon. It can also be a trigger for readers even when only implied or described. This can frequently be a squick for many people, so should be listed in the author's warnings.
