Spanking doesn’t improve a child’s behavior or social competence -- it can make behavior worse.

Spanking can worsen a child's behavior and do real harm, study finds - CNN

Physical punishment does not appear to improve a child's positive behavior or social competence over time, according to a review of 69 studies from the US, Canada, China, Colombia, Greece, Japan, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom

The review, published Monday in the journal Lancet, found physical punishment such as spanking is "harmful to children's development and well-being," said senior author Elizabeth Gershoff, a professor in human development and family sciences at The University of Texas at Austin.

"Parents hit their children because they think doing so will improve their behavior," Gershoff said. "Unfortunately for parents who hit, our research found clear and compelling evidence that physical punishment does not improve children's behavior and instead makes it worse."

Who says so…white people whose sons and daughters go across the global raping and pillaging?

Next question…

‘If spanking isn’t effective why is that their method of behavior correction as a society. What do the cops do when you don’t follow the society’s rules?

Learnt some anti social behaviors through getting my hide tore up that I have had to ween out of system as an adult.

Kids dont see the discipline aspect, they just interpret a spanking as "showing little regard for physical/mental being" so of course that transfers out to how they interact with others.

False.

I was a rebellious and defiant child...Its just in my blood.... I dont even wanna work for somebody because I refuse to answer to anybody... thats why I was thinkin bout starting businesses since high school.... I've always had a rebellious sprit since a child and sometimes it must be handled with force.

Part of the reason why I respect older black men is because my father laid the discipline game down very heavily.

Also each child is different.... my younger sisters never got touched because theyre very easy-going & obedient.

I've always had an attitude of doing what the fukk I wanna do...... my father did a good job in toning me down....I thank him.

Black people have always believed in forceful discipline for thousands of years.... it has nothing to do with white people or slavery.

lets keep it real, there are spankings, whuppings and abuse.

My mother spanked for some stuff we did.....ate them things like scooby snacks

My father whupped me once in my life for stealing and broke it down that he was raising no criminal in his house.

If I found a wallet with $1k in it, I'm not even taking out $1

But the threat of a asswhoopin can be a helluva deterrent.

those lectures after getting your ass beat


Pops would drop gems



Beat me damn near senseless and then drop priceless knowledge afterwards


Pops laced me up heavy.

Yep. All of this. People are saying one thing, but I’m seeing another.

Waiting on pops to get home was brutal


Looking at the clock and wishing I was dead
