Sometimes the only way to learn right from wrong is through experience. Nonabusive spanking is an effective form of discipline that instills morals and values in children.
Some argue that spanking can damage a child’s mental state, but for the most part they would be wrong. According to a TIME magazine article Robert Larzelere, who is a psychologist, concluded that “nonabusive spanking reduced misbehavior without harmful effects” and that spanking not only works but it makes children “more apt to respond without spanking the next time.”(TIME) That statement collaborated with a study that Larzelere performed which dealt with numerous mothers with children around 3 to 3 years old. Many other people will argue that all the statistics they find support not spanking because of the supposed facts, but researchers from the National Institute of Healthcare Research said “83 percent of the 132 identified articles published in clinical and psychosocial journals were merely opinion-driven editorials, reviews or commentaries, devoid of new empirical findings.”(Pro-Spanking) So how can you trust all the information that can be found if they are just opinionated blogs? Both of these hard-core pieces of evidence show that nonabusive spanking will not produce bad effects, even if some statistics say so.
