"...defiant, demand immediate satisfaction of their wants and needs, become frustrated easily, have temper tantrums and lash out physically against other people or animals."Well I guess that means you should never spank, right?
The scientist in me immediately reacted to the study by thinking: "What if the other kids are less defiant to begin with, requiring less spanking?" Is this study simply another informative look at the cum hoc, ergo propter hoc fallacy?
In raising children myself, the thought is that spanking can be a tool that one uses, but should never be the first (or even second) one.
