Are you absolutely certain about this? :jbhmmm:The whooping certainly could, but it's an immediate punishment that lasts only a few minutes at best.
Some children might harbor a grudge against their parents that grows with every beating. Some might not.
Some might take heed from this haircut and get their act together, some might actually be affected as you say.
My point is this: not all children are wired the same and this armchair philosophy about adolescent discipline on the internet from people without kids needs to stop.
