Emphasis on "may"
There's several limitations and gray lines of the study.

ngl the s*** that worries me the most is when ppl talk about their kids and how excited they are to punish them physically, it's very weird and kinda upsetting to see, like "I CAN'T WAIT TO BEAT MY CHILD AND WHUP EM WITH A BELT AND I WANT TO SEE THEM CRY AND CRY", it seems like people do it to their children now out of some f***ed up sadism than anything

the ideal is also rooted in european protestant thought that children are born in sin and that you may not spare the rod, the concept of modern "corporal punishment" was not present in prior african/native cultures, and i hate when i see people attempt to excuse their actions by saying "this is how we did it back in the old days", the method is descendant of how european colonizers would treat native people or slaves to be subservient

it also can put in their heads to behave out of fear/to avoid retributive pain from their parents/authority figures rather than to morally do the right thing, based on their own thoughts, this especially affected me personally growing up.

i grew up with corporal punishment, however i do feel it affected me, especially growing up in school, i was always a good kid and all, and the reason was that i knew what would happen if i f***ed up heavy, i would get hit and it made me afraid of authority figures growing up, because i only knew some type of pain would come from parental/authoritative retribution.

that's not a healthy mentality to have, and i feel that some of it kinda morphed into my own anxieties that i struggle with today

yes, it technically gives faster results in the short-term but it has the potential to f*** them up long-term (more risk of aggression and mental health issues, and teaches that physical violence is the best solution when someone does something you don't like) and to strain the relationship between the parent and the child

i believe positive reinforcement works best, where we reward the kid for behaving good and you give non-violent negative reinforcement, like grounding or taking away s***, when they do something disrespectful or bad

you should also especially try to have a good, positive relationship with your children because they will get close to you and they will let you know what's on their mind and whats making them act out

It depends on the intensity of the spanking

Eg belts, wires, sticks, etc

My kids getting gut punted

no offense big bro but you gon be a p**** ass father growing up

Well you face consequences when you do wrong things as an adult such as losing your car...

yes, i understand, i've seen situations like this too, however you can discipline and speak your mind to your kid without being physically violent

this is the same logic domestic abusers try to use against their spouses

"if i just slap the s*** out that b****, she'll listen to me"

Still spanking my kids.

They’ll be aight

saying this with a DMX avi aint sitting right on my spirit
There is no reason for child abuse

you not staying in ur kids life bro lets be honest

they gon have to figure something out for themselves

how come white parents either dont hit their kids at all or be straight punching em in the face 😭

?
Why are u correlating the s*** X went thru with spanking?

Fr, people really get institutionalized by that s***. They be going around like “If your parents beat you like mine did to me, then maybe YOU’D be stable like I am!” It’s a cry for help honestly

I’d rather get my ass beat than be grounded for a week

nah my kids getting spanked

DMX was physically abused by his mother as a child and it stuck with him his whole life

Entitled children need to be spanked.

This is such a reach, tf.

Physically abused and taking out anger on ur child the way X mom did =/= spanking

When my husband spanks me i get hard as s***. This study is big cap

here are some good opinion pieces/articles on the matter, and how it affects communities of color

a light smack or pinch aint bad or even a launched sandal here and there, it's obviously a spectrum but the intense rage-fueled pain infliction by someone who is supposed to love you is what really bothers me and can affect people
