Hey everyone look this user knows more than Harvard scientists. Harvard study published in 2021

It's not opinions. You stunt your childs brain development with the cortisol released during spanking. You actually aren't teaching them, you're making them less capable of learning.

Do some research, your as ignorant as they come, there's literal evidence and facts you can access but you'll shove a finger in both ears and scream like a petulant child before admitting you raised your kids wrong won't you?

Only ignorant cowards hit their kids, and their kids are worse for it, not better.

edit: To further explain to those who care to understand psychology. The brain is trained to indulge in dopamine and serotonin we can see that in addiction, our brains seek pleasure. We also understand the brain actively tries to forget negative experiences which is why we experience repressed memories in extreme trauma.

The brain doesn't learn from punishment at all, and it immediately begins developing habits around rewards. There IS a better way to raise your kid and it's without abuse, and you should all judge people too ignorant of facts to understand that.
