[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It hoovers around 65% of parents who do across childhood. The big study that just came out against was a meta-analysis by 2 universitys looking at 160,000 participants over 50 years of other studies, publised in the Journal of Family Psychology. Points to negative short term (not effective) and negative long term (self esteem, learning and social) outcomes. Doesn't work for the now and hurts the future.[/quote]

The onus of the evidence should be on the people who commit physical violence against their kids (or spouses).

Dear spanking-loving folks,

Can you please show us the well-published Randomized Control Trials that prove spanking works?

Thank you in advance[/quote]

I can see in my own life that it works. Why would I need a study to confirm that?[/quote]

Because that's a pure anecdote, and you may be wrong.

Before hitting your kids again, you should make sure that's the best way to accomplish XYZ.[/quote]

And no one can know that spanking "works" until their children are grown.  The issue is long-term damage, not short-term "effectiveness."[/quote]
