It is important that the leaflet also promotes other non-physical methods of disciplining children and encourages positive parenting more generally.About 700,000 copies of the leaflet have been distributed through schools, nurseries, general practitioners' surgeries, health centres and libraries. Additionally, funding for organisations such as ParentLine Scotland, the Parent Network Scotland, Positive Parenting, Home-Start Scotland and One Parent Families Scotland, and for various other initiatives to allow voluntary organisations, including the Aberlour Child Care Trust, to undertake a national parenting development project to develop parenting programmes for parents of children and young people aged six to 16 years, shows that the Executive is committed to ensuring that parents have the right information and, crucially, the support to deal with what can be very difficult situations.
