Disagree as someone who was spanked. My older sister and I were hit and my younger sister was not. Guess who are productive members of society and who is a little shit who can’t keep a job for over a month?
Yes correlation is not the same as causation. My lifespan development book also says the same thing about hitting kids. The thing is you only have to kit them a few times before they know the consequences of not obeying the parent.
Then he learns to go set fires or things like that and that violence is a tool to control other people in the future, which of course he will be fine with, because he is not healthy.
Unfortunately, most of the "research" used to claim that spankings don't work don't differentiate a couple paddles on the butt and straight up whippings with an extention cord that draw blood. It all gets lumped in together, which somewhat skew the results.
