...spank his kid when he/she does things wrong.
Some examples of physical punishment include:
-
spanking (one of the most common methods of physical punishment)
- slapping, pinching, or pulling.
- hitting with an object, such as a paddle, belt, hairbrush, whip, or stick.
- making someone eat soap, hot sauce, hot pepper, or other unpleasant substances.
In fact, corporal punishment is a hot topic for debate. In the United States, corporal punishment is legal on a federal level, but state laws vary on what types of physical punishments are allowed. However, the The AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics) recommends that parents, schools, and caregivers refrain from using any type of physical punishment with children. They report corporal punishment is ineffective over the long-term and leads to negative outcomes.
A child who gets spanked, slapped, or pinched, may change his behavior in the short-term. In the long-term, however, studies consistently show that corporal punishment is ineffective. In fact, it can worsen behavior problems over time.
Spanking children increases aggressive behavior. A multitude of research studies have found kids who are spanked are more likely to hit other people. Corporal punishment models aggressive behavior which teaches children to solve problems with violence.
Another option could be "time out", take away certain privileges, such as electronics, assing an extra chore or have him perform a chore to make amends.
