We always feel that punishing our child by beating or spanking him would make him mend his ways. We parents most of the time go for punishing than making the child understand the mistake and regret because we ourselves do not have the patience to deal with the child. We get satisfied by punishing the child and think we have done the right thing.

But the research studies show that children who are given corporal punishment by the parents grow up to be very aggressive, disobedient and destructive kids. Spanking would lead to mental distress of the child, weak parent-child relationship.

Spanking is banned in all schools in US but parents still continue the habit. It is not wise to inflict physical pain to the children because they inturn learn to inflict pain to their mates and siblings.
