I know people who were spanked as a kid and are good, successful people in adulthood. But numerous studies have shown the negative effects it can have on a child. It's literally physical abuse and that's not something you should ever inflict on anyone you love. Yes, even children deserve the respect of not being beaten.

Children can be disciplined in more productive ways that don't involve violence. Spanking is for the lazy and uneducated and is not an appropriate response to your child acting out

Yeah. I heard about it. But I guess I never hear what the negative consequences are Not only that, but it can be hard to pin it down what actually causes stuff. I would think it changes something, but not sure what exactly

Like I said, I just think it depends on the child. That said, I also dont think it works as much if you use it all the time Normally, it was if I did something really bad Or if I kept acting out and other methods werent working
