New Study on the Long-term effects of Spanking

Sure, you think you know why to spank or not spank. I’m sure you’ve got a list of reasons and reading material as well as experience to support your stance. That’s all fine and dandy, but I highly recommend that you take a look at this new study on the long term effects of spanking. It is really interesting - according to the study “spanking kids increases their risk of sexual problems as adults” then goes on to say that teens and young adults who were spanked were “more likely to coerce dating partners into having sex or to engage in risky or masochistic sex.”(Murray Straus) Yikes!!!

Further into the article on researcher says another thing spanking teaches children “is that if you have the power in a relationship, you can use aggression to get your way. “(Elizabeth Gershoff)

Interesting stuff!!! Just something more for those of you with little ones to use when considering if you want to spank or not.

When I was in high school (not that long ago!) computer class was still optional! LOL Now it’s used daily by most people, and […]
