Another study has recently come out showing the negative effects of spanking in toddlers.  The study published in Child Development found that, “The study found that children who were spanked at age 1 had more aggressive behaviors at age 2 and performed worse on measures of thinking abilities at age 3.” The also negated several excuses often used to support spanking.  1.  That some kids are more aggressive and thus more likely to get spanked e.g. the spanking did not lead to the aggression.  and 2.  cultures that support spanking remove the negative impacts since it is...
