Is spanking ever a good idea?
Spanking, slapping, or hitting children will get their
attention, but it doesn't teach children what is expected of
them or how to behave in the future. Physical punishment
teaches the child that aggression is an acceptable way to
solve problems and may lead to abuse or aggression toward
other children. Additionally, physical punishment can
discourage and embarrass children and lower their
self-esteem. It shows that a parent has lost control and is
responding emotionally instead of with reason and
understanding.
