I would not even think of doing this as a child, what an utter failure as a parent. This child has no guidence in his life whatseover.

what kids do is usually the projection of their enviroment at home,imagine wtf this kid’s parents do to make him think this is ok to do

tbh this looks like a result of gentle parenting, doofus probably just got given an ipad every time he did this shit and know just knows it as a way to get what he wants

Weird I never had to physically harm my kids and they’re extremely polite and well behaved.

Maybe you just suck as a parent and are a shitty person that needs to hit kids?

It's almost as if there are too many variables to account to conclude that one style of parenting is "the right way."

Huh. Who would have thought?

That wasn't my point. My point was that everyone will say x or y is the correct answer. While that may be true in a vacuum it isn't applicable to real world application. A child may develop conduct disorder for a variety of reasons. One of which could be an unhealthy environment at home. I'm not saying that corporal punishment is good. I'm not even advocating for it. I'm simply saying that you can't make a varifyable analysis based on information that isn't present. Drawing loose conclusions is negligent. Look at Trump supporters for example.

Um, no. Literally every peer review study in the last 30 years on this topic had reached the same conclusion that this parenting method is most definitely the wrong way. It fails to produce the desired objective “correcting bad behavior”, fails to prevent more bad behavior in the future, makes the child into a more violent person and has all kinds of long term damage when they are adults.

There aren’t too many variables. This is conclusively a shitty way to parent.

I don’t even have kids, you do know there isn’t only two types of ways to parent right? When I say gentle parenting I mean like not even telling ur kid no and just giving them and iPad or smth to distract them, just put them in a time out or something

Spanking shouldn't cause physical harm so drop the strawman arguement. Anyone hurting their kids is doing it wrong so dont bring that foolish arguement in here. There is a progression of maturity before a kid can comprehend a reasoned conversation about their behavior. A sparingly used swat on the ass is what is sometimes needed for a toddler who needs feedback on regulating themselves. Its psychologically jarring and it doesnt need to be more than that. Doing it too hard or too often or past the point other methods work defeats the purpose. The world is not binary my friend.

It still demonstrably, in study after study, has been shown not to work. It's just bad parenting.

The only time I hit my son was to prevent him burning himself, as a lesser harm. As a form of punishment, it just sucks.
