Studies show that people treated like this as children have much higher rates of mental health problems as adults. I wouldn't recommend it.
It's a good short term solution for you but not a good long term solution for your child's life and health.

Of course you don't recommend it.  After all, you're the person who took an article that says, cautiously, "Spanking CAN cause mental health problems in children, study SUGGESTS", and somehow transformed it into a very definite "people treated like this HAVE a MUCH higher rates of mental health problems as adults".   What is the evidence for this? Your ardent belief?

And I see you still didn't get the point.  It isn't that children are beaten black and blue.  It's that society can (and should) create an environment where speaking to your parents the way OP's son did is seen, by children, as an outlandish, impossible, outrageous thing the consequences of which are too horrid to even contemplate. I don't actually know whether I would have been punished physically.  What I do know is that the thought of speaking to your parents like this was IMPOSSIBLE, like the sun rising in the middle of the night. IMPOSSIBLE. [/quote]
