Approximately 75% of children aged 2 to 4 worldwide—close to 300 million—are regularly  subjected to violent discipline (physical punishment and/or psychological aggression) by parents and/or caregivers at home (UNICEF, 2017).1 Such exposure to violence can hinder children’s development and undermine their sense of self-worth (Boden et al., 2007; Fry et al., 2018; Mersky and Topitzes, 2010). Moreover, research shows children who are victims of abuse and neglect are more likely to exhibit risky behaviors as teenagers (Hamby et al., 2011); be absent from school, and have higher levels of aggression, mental distress, and social problems (Lansford et al., 2002). These children can negatively affect peers’ test scores and behavior in the classroom (Carrell and Hoekstra, 2010). Early exposure to violence also negatively affects outcomes during adulthood (Doyle Jr and Aizer, 2018), resulting in worse labor market outcomes (Currie and Spatz Widom, 2010) and/or  increased involvement in crime (Currie and Tekin, 2012; Sviatschi, 2022).
