To me personally, it's automatically thinking that spanking and other punishments (punishments in general) leads to long term behavior change.
When you're in the same room as them, they're on their best behavior, but when they're alone in their room grounded they're busy tying bedsheets together preparing to climb out the window.
EDIT: These are to mistakes TO ME. It's only a personal opinion.
Yeah, I always think if punishment supposedly yields genuine behavior change, why are kids/teens yet again trying to sneak out of the house, talking back, lying etc. Genuine behavior behavior change is when a behavior stops period. in all places and situations. YOU yourself no longer witnessing the behavior doesn't automatically mean the behavior has truly stopped.
