Pros Cons Spanking can be effective on a short-term basis in getting children to change the negative behaviors that prompted the spanking. Long-term consequences of spanking can include increased aggressiveness, antisocial behavior, and delinquency.Spanking has been shown to be most effective in 2- to 6-year-olds when used in conjunction with milder disciplinary methods, such as reasoning and time-outs. Weaker associations for spanking, such as a failure to learn right from wrong, subsequent criminal behavior, mental illness, and child or spouse abuse as adults, have also been suggested. Parents can feel they are preparing their kids for "that tough world out there". Spanking can send mixed messages to a child and reinforce aggressive behavior. When parents model aggressive behaviors by spanking, they reinforce the idea that physical aggression is the way to get what you want. Spanking is expedient - it quickly delivers a powerful message in terms of behavior- modification. Parents who lack the patience to teach through cognitive learning can use force as a means of discipline. Violence towards children causes a degree of trauma which carries with it a high risk of the development of psychopathology. The ranks of the mentally ill, substance addicted, and violent criminals are filled with individuals who were the victims of violent parents. There's no need to waste a lot of time with verbal communication. From our earliest days, primal grunts and gestures have served us well. Children learn to strike-out when their sensibilities are offended. It stands to reason that the best way to teach children how to be violent is to have them experience violence first-hand from the most influential teacher they'll ever have. Not only does spanking make violence a part of a child's reality, it can also provide a child with the anger to trigger violent behavior; because when parents fail to break the mind and spirit of a child through the ultimate act of rejection, anger is often the result. Parents can release pent-up anger & frustration and not have to worry about physical retribution. The nurturing role of the parent is put at risk. It gives parents a sense of tradition. Spanking is associated with a poorer relationship between the parent and child. Parents who confuse fear with respect can feel a sense of accomplishment. Fearful children provide parents with a sense of power and control. Spanking runs the risk of becoming criminal behavior. Parents who employ corporal punishment as a means of 'discipline' take the risk of crossing the line into 'legal' child-abuse when under high levels of stress. This is how much child-abuse begins.It scares kids, until they desensitize to it. It scares kids, until they desensitize to it. Children learn to abstain from certain unacceptable behaviors …so long as the parent is present. Some children will even find themselves more
