Political rants

hitting your children isnt good for them, i dont think this even needs to be debated don't hit your kids, folks, a time out is good enough

https://www.apa.org/about/policy/physical-discipline.pdf in case anyone actually thinks its ok

@momoichi Well whether you agree with it or not it delivers the results. We aren't in prison and we are rolling in the cash. My cousins and I still laugh about what punishments we got.

@dyadka_yar its just a scientific fact that its doesn't help. if your parents didn't abuse you you'd be in the same situation regardless if you ever have children, please do not hit them "Finally, in terms of neurological and biological correlates of physical discipline use, physical discipline is associated with impaired cognitive ability and detrimental brain development, which are themselves associated with the development of mental health problems (Gershoff & Grogan-Kaylor, 2016a; Tomoda, Suzuki, Rabi, Sheu, Polcari, & Teicher, 2009). Neurobiologically, physical discipline also appears to contribute to alterations in or dysregulation of cortisol and dopamine activity, resulting in hypersensitivity to stress and increased risk for substance abuse, respectively (Bugental, Martorell, & Barraza, 2003; Sheu, Polcari, Anderson, & Teicher, 2010; Tomoda et al., 2009)."

I tend to disagree and agree because it is a two-edged sword. It'll work pretty nice with rebellious and destructive children... not to mention, quoting Android 16: "not everyone is convinced with words"... but, it causes some psychological damage in the long run if overdone.

for all you that have been abuse by your parents, please don't do the same to your kids, the research says that your just harming them

Results matter more than theory in this. Of most children I met, those whose parents were simulating saints ended up most entitled.

your the theorist in this you know read the apa's research to see the actual results
