Spanking Not a Good Form of Discipline

Although spanking as a method of child disclipine is frowned on by the American Academy of Pediatrics, it remains a common practice. A recent study in the journal Pediatrics looked at spanking of 3 year olds and risk of subsequent behavioral problems. It found that children who were spanked by their parents 2 times or more in a month had a higher risk of aggressive behavior when they reached the age of 5. Just another reason to take a deep breath before you do something you might regret. For tips on better ways to discipline, check this link: Discipline
