Heres what a 2007 study on Corporal Punishment done by the Canadian Child Care Federation states: Three out of five studies have found that physical punishment may result in short-term compliance, however all studies agree that it is not associated with long-term compliance. On the other hand, the risks are significant. A child’s development may be affected by physical punishment in many ways. The child might be injured (over two-thirds of all substantiated child abuse cases took place within the context of punishment) experience fear, anxiety, insecurity and anger lose trust in the parent, impairing the parent-child bond experience depression, unhappiness and feelings of hopelessness be more concerned about being punished than how his behavior affects others learn to use aggression to solve problems Because physical punishment doesnt work and is potentially physically and emotionally harmful, parents are strongly encouraged to develop alternative, positive approaches to discipline.
