[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So many sanctimonious parents on this thread. We don’t spank our children because we are blessed with well-behaved children, but both of us were spanked as kids and I dont find it that bad. It never actually hurt me and all it did was deliver negative consequences for inappropriate actions. So much of the research (as are many psychological studies) on all of the stuff related to this is so flawed (sometimes the conclusions, sometimes the study design, sometimes both), maybe it’s accurate but[b] I find it rather unconvincing[/b].[/quote] So it doesnt matter how accurate it is, you won't listen to studies on how hitting children is bad? Ok then.[/quote] They are never going to come out and say "some light swats are ok, but full on spanking is bad". It's like NO amount of alcohol in pregnancy is safe. That's not true but they can't really say exactly how much is ok so it's just a blanket guidance of none because it's easier than trying to determine safe vs not safe. But clearly some is ok.[/quote] Also consider that correlation is not necessarily causation. Does the spanking cause future maladjusted behavior, or are children who are prone to become maladjusted adults more likely to engage in behaviors as children that result in spanking?[/quote]
