Changing North American attitudes toward "acceptable" levels of punishment and poverty would be the most effective way to prevent child maltreatment in the long term. This would involve shifting social norms to view physical punishment and poverty as unacceptable, and promoting alternative methods of discipline and support for families. Teaching parents authoritarian parenting or not to depend on others for support may not necessarily prevent child maltreatment or could even contribute to it. Encouraging physical punishment is also not an effective way to prevent maltreatment as it can lead to negative outcomes for children.
