In this session, the sensitive topic of raising, and disciplining children.

The panel offers a counter story to the debate that arose following Minnesota Vikings' running back Adrian Peterson's arrest on child abuse charges. A Texas grand jury recently indicted Peterson, saying he went too far when he beat his four-year-old son with a switch.

Panel members share their own experiences with corporal punishment as kids, and the discipline methods they've adopted as parents.
