Sample Resolution for
Town or City Government

“The town of [local town/city] adopts a policy to encourage parents and caregivers of children to:

refrain from the use of corporal punishment;


use alternative nonviolent methods of child discipline and management, with an ultimate goal of mutual respect between parent and child; and


take advantage of the [local parent resource center], which is available to offer parents support, information, and direction regarding effective disciplinary methods.

This policy statement is in no way intended to undermine parental authority or familial autonomy. Its goal is to promote and advocate mutually respectful relationships between children and their parents and encourage thoughtful determination of discipline methods.”

Or take any action related thereto.
