| Topic | "Parents should never spank their kids." |
| Slip-N-Slide 02/18/18 2:21:20 PM #19: | The issue isn't that those parents aren't hitting their kids, the issue is that they're not parenting them period or parenting them properly. Studies have actually shown kids who are spanked are more likely to act out, develop behavioral issues, mental health issues such as depression, higher rates of domestic abusers, as well as more likely to continue the cycle by spanking their own kid. Talk to the overwhelming majority of experts in psychology, child psychology, and child development and they'll almost all unanimously agree that spanking is an unhealthy and less effective form of parenting. Hitting your kids is lazy parenting that doesn't solve any root issue or actually teach anything. Like it's easier than ever to punish a kid worse without laying a finger on them. Find a kid and ask if they'd rather get a spanking or have no internet access, electronics like phones and games, etc. for a weekend. Then combine that with actually discussing things with your kid, actually teaching then what they did, why it was wrong, instead of some archaic "you did thing *hit* don't do thing again" which leads to no growth or even remorse, just feeling bad they got caught or got spanked. The issue isn't that parents are lazily just hitting their kids, the issue is they've gotten even lazier and don't do anything period. --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
