okay so because i literally have to EXPLAIN why hitting your child is wrong, here we go:

• it causes pain to the child
  
• it teaches the child that those who love you will hurt you if it’s for ‘your own good’, normalizing abusive that could later end up in being in an abusive relationship, and even in some cases abusing others.
  
• teaching your child to fear you is not teaching them right from wrong.
• there are countless other ways to reprimand your child without harming them.
• it is emotionally damaging as well as physically damaging.
• the kid can grow to fear adults and authority figures in general.
• the mindset that violence is okay
• you are HURTING your child.

im so tired of people trying to defend their abuse by saying they are doing it with ‘best interest’ or that it’s ‘discipline’ 

The American Academy of Pediatrics and The American Psychological Association oppose striking a child or adolescent for any reason.

35 developed nations have banned corporal punishment at home.

Children who were physically punished were more likely to endorse hitting as a means of resolving their conflicts with peers and siblings.

As 5-year-olds, the children who had been spanked were more likely than the nonspanked to be defiant, demand immediate satisfaction of their wants and needs, become frustrated easily, have temper tantrums and lash out physically against other people or animals.

 2- to 4-year-olds who were spanked scored 5 points lower on the IQ test than those not spanked. For children ages 5 to 9, the spanked ones scored on average 2.8 points lower than their unspanked counterparts.

Participants who experienced physical punishment were 59 percent more likely to have alcohol dependence, 41 percent more like to have depression and 24 percent more likely to have panic disorder, compared with those who received no physical punishments.

i dont understand why people still try to justify physically injuring your child for, like, any reason at all

My mom used to whoop me on the ass, not very often because i was a pretty well-behaved kid. I just remember thinking “why are you hurting me????” and feeling really broken hearted and sad. I was always closer to my dad and I honestly think that’s why.

(She’s also open-handed slapped me a few times and tried to strangle me once so there’s that too.)

I used to try to be all hard like “I WAS SPANKED AND I TURNED OUT FINE” but that was always a lie. Being spanked (and screamed at and other things) really damaged my relationship with my mom and made me legit afraid of her sometimes.

    I’d say that corporal punishment occupies a grey area between abuse and bad parenting.It isn’t abuse because, coming...
