No, no, no...parents stop letting people scare you from disciplining. Constant hollering, belittling, threatening, and hitting your child sets off biochemical responses to stress... is what I read in this article and that is way more than a spanking. So yes, doing all the above regularly without discussion and at times for no reason would be a horrible childhood for anyone. But a spanking those few times bc you deserved and understood where you went wrong and know a better way to avoid what you did is completely different. And if you spank but dont couple it with calm conversation after, consider adding that piece. Takes it from punishment to discipline. No Im no parent for those who think my comments are irrelevant but I have been teaching a decade. Had a helluva lotta conversations with parents and observations and child studies on students; at times whats missing in their life is appropriate discipline. Not every method works for every child. Spanking does not always equate to child abuse. Know your child. Know your anger level. And parent accordingly.
