Acceptable Parenting Practices Dept: The DVD on acceptable parenting practices in Canada will be translated into several languages, according to CBC. She said her mother started beating her when she was just eight years old and child welfare experts in Manitoba are creating a DVD to teach immigrants about acceptable parenting practices or techniques. Catherine Biaya, who appears on the video, was beaten as a child in her native Congo and vows not to repeat the cycle of violence with her children in Winnipeg. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
