I’ll give you one guess what the researchers think:

If spanking does send IQ scores down, Straus and others offer some explanations for what might be going on.

“Contrary to what everyone believes, being hit by parents is a traumatic experience,” Straus said. “We know from lots of research that traumatic stresses affect the brain adversely.” Also, the trauma could cause kids to have more stressful responses in difficult situations, and so may not perform as well cognitively.

By using hitting rather than words or other means of discipline, parents could be depriving kids of learning opportunities. “With spanking, a parent is delivering a punishment to get the child’s attention and to get them to behave in a certain way,” said Elizabeth Gershoff who studies childhood development at the University of Texas, Austin. “It’s not fostering children’s independent thinking.”

I’m not normally one to tell others how to raise their children, but this research has convinced that spanking should remain where God intended it — in the bedroom. IT’S ADAM AND EVE NOT ADAM AND ADAM JR.!

Same here in Germany, if you scold or punish your child in public, anyone can call a police to apprehend you.

SPANKINGS
I was raised in an atmosphere where spanking was just a consequence - not a punishment. I had rules and if broken I knew the consequences. Spanking should not be used in every situation - atleast not to start - but when used,should not be out of anger or desperation. This shows weakness n vulnerabilty to a child and doesn't convey a message other than loss of control. Children aren't adults in the mind and cannot be reasoned with like adults. How many times should you let your child play with a light socket and try to reason with em that it can kill them? Furthermore how long do you try and use words with a child who's only capable of seeing what THEY want as opposed to what is best? Do you let your child not respect authority and let them become a teenager that's a product of that?Or do you use tactful and love driven consequences for their actions n teach them that there is recourse for what we do in life? Inconsistency's more harmful than the discipline given in most cases I feel.
