    Spanking linked to increase in behavioral problems

    Children who have been spanked by their parents by age 5 show an increase in behavior problems at age 6 and age 8 relative to children who have never been spanked, according to new findings in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science.

    The study, which uses a statistical technique to approximate random assignment, indicates that this increase in behavior problems cannot be attributed to various characteristics of the child, the parents, or the home environment -- rather, it seems to be the specific result of spanking.

    "Our findings suggest that spanking is not an effective technique and actually makes children's behavior worse not better," says psychological scientist Elizabeth T. Gershoff (University of Texas at Austin), lead author on the study.

    Historically, trying to determine whether parents' use of spanking actually causes children to develop behavior problems has been difficult, because researchers cannot ethically conduct experiments that randomly assign parents to spank or not.

    This has sort of been the main opinion of the psychological community for a while now and this study seems to have the meat to actually demonstrate to some degree that it is not just a theory that spanking may actually negatively impact a child's behavior.

    Maybe we should just give unruly kids their own needles and a map to the local drug dealers.

    As a child, I found that leather belt or china berry tree switch a great behavioral modifier. Spare the rod, spoil the child.

    What is the scripture? Bring up a child in the right ways and he will not depart from them as he grows old.
    There is no God but Resister and Refugee is his messenger’.

    All of the five of us were spanked, kicked, slapped and thrown around the furniture. Three of us five are productive adults with families and children. The other two are not. A 60% success rate I guess.

    You can get some kid's attention with a look, you can get some kid's attention with a loud voice, some kids may respond well with being in timeout, but there are some kids you can only get their attention with a switch or belt. The goal is to get their attention so that you can teach them right vs wrong. You have to know your kid and use the proper method to get their attention. I think the biggest mistake some parents make when using corporal punishment is that they do it when they are angry and not in their right state of mind.

    A little "chicken or the egg" here maybe? Growing up I was spanked and occasionally mom would slap me. Once when she slapped my smart little mouth her ring had turned around accidently on her hand and she left a small cut. It wasn't just any ring, it was her mother's ring! Did I get some mileage out of that guilt trip! But these situations were not common. In fact, I believe that if you spank commonly it loses it's ability to deliver an important message. So I reserved spanking for serious occasions ( letting go of your hand and runing out in the road at 2 or 3 for example) with my kids and never deemed it really necessary after 4 or 5 when reason could comprehend other consequences . My wife and I did not slap either, but during our children's teen years we were certainly tempted to. Nobody can piss you off quicker that a mouthy teen. LOL
    Bottom line. Moderation.

    I am responding to children under 5 years of age.


    Spanking your child for bad behavior is one thing but kicking your child or other actions involving extreme violence is abuse. Really folks, how much damage can you do to a child with your hand in spanking them? I think we have all witnessed at a store with a Mother ignoring her child while that child is having a temper tantrum where everyone seeing this may think I would take that child outside to spank him or her.

    The only effective to teach your child that their actions have consequences is you must inspire the fear factor for the punishment. Talking to your child about their bad behavior does not inspire fear so they do not do it again. What methods would be effective that induces fear from a child under 5?

    Well this is what He said. A few examples. Proverbs chapter 13 and 19

    He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes

    Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying.A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment: for if thou deliver him, yet thou must do it again.
    Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.
    There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand.
