[quote=Anonymous]I think that in times of stress, when we lose access to our higher brain functions, our tendency is to act out our own parents' model of discipline, which is deeply ingrained in us. So if your parents hit you, you will react physically (or have the urge to do so) when your child has just destroyed your last nerve. I was never spanked as a child, so I've never wanted to hit my child. But I was yelled at, so that's my default response when I lose control. As a PP said, both can be equally destructive.[/quote]
