 Spanking commands immediate compliance but produces long term problems, such as a tendency to solve other disputes with violence, using the parent's example. It is not a genuine form of correction; spanking is merely coercion. We would never sanction hitting an adult for misbehaving, yet a child is far less likely to understand the reasoning for the punishment and more likely to interpret it as abuse. Thus, spanking tends to break down the child-parent bond. Also, studies on spanking show harm to the child's psychological development, performance in school, and make them more likely to become criminals. If India is going to become a major world power, its children cannot be raised so thoughtlessly.

 If you think spanking your child is the only way to discipline them, your parental qualities match your theological ones. Im not saying that parents cant spank their children, Im saying that beating your child shouldnt be your first and only option in correcting them.

 the goal of punishment is to get children to understand not just that they did something wrong but also what motivated them to do it so spanking should not be used.

 Instead of spanking, time-outs are best for teaching manners and discipline. These moments force children to calm down and think about their emotions rather than acting on them reflexively.

 spanking is a form of disciplining. few disciplinary measures stop a child from misbehaving as quickly as a swift smack or two on the bottom.
