Romper com essa lacuna e contribuir para a compreensão das causas, consequências e alternativas aos castigos físicos e humilhantes é, a proposta que a ANDI, Red ANDI América Latina e Save the Children Suécia fazem aos profissionais de imprensa, ao disponibilizarem um conjunto de orientações e diretrizes para o aprimoramento da cobertura sobre o tema. Considerando a complexidade da relação entre pais, filhos e profissionais de educação no processo educativo, este guia procura, portanto, subsidiar o debate sobre estratégias disciplinares positivas e sustentáveis, com base no diálogo e na negociação de limites e consensos de maneira participativa e colaborativa. A presença de tal abordagem na mídia fornece informações extremamente relevantes para os adultos e para as próprias crianças e adolescentes, reforçando a imagem de meninos e meninas como sujeitos de direito, que têm direito a um tratamento respeitoso."
