Research from Dr. Murray Strauss at the Family Research Laboratory affirms that spanking teaches children to use acts of aggression and violence to solve their problems. It only teaches and perpetuates more violence, the very thing our society is so concerned about. This research further shows that children who have been spanked are more prone to low self-esteem, depression and accept lower paying jobs as adults.

We live in a world that often separates physical abuse and spanking. New research explains why. Now we do. A new study, based on 50 years of research, leaves absolutely no doubt that not only is spanking useless for positive behaviour change, it actually does damage. In the face of steely proof, it is hard to give up what we have always done, particularly when there is nothing obvious and failsafe that can take its place.
