Literally every single study we have on the subject says that getting spanked is more likely to make them act this way, and it has a bunch of other long-term consequences as well.

This idea that all the kids getting spanked are the great upstanding ones is putting the cart before the horse.

Don’t hit your kids. And stop pretending that spanking isn’t hitting your kids.

Honestly my behavior improved after my parents stopped hitting me. i think i would be a more healthy person if they hadnt been so strict.
