Presenting at a conference of the Society for Research in Child Development, Marjorie Gunroe gave findings which indicate that adults who were spanked “…do better in school, perform more volunteer work and are more optimistic than others…” This goes against conventional wisdom on the practice, including claims of detrimental consequences.
Taking into account increased violence and misbehavior among children, should a little punishment be reintroduced? Is it necessary for government to get involved in this matter by banning the practice, or should it be a parent’s choice? What experiences do you have with this, and how do you think it has created who you are today?
