How Spanking Your Kids Will Affect Them?
Early Spankings Make for Aggressive Toddlers, Study Shows
I came across this article about a study who claimed that spanking makes kids aggressive and lower their IQ.
say what?

At the risk of sounding totally judgmental and bias I’m gonna say that is complete bologna! These studies usually study about 100 families at the time (I’m not so sure) So I’m gonna present my own study on about the same number.
I went to super ultra strict all girls catholic school, where we study latin, greek, memorize chapters of history and social sciences, math, physics and chemistry. Failure “to know your stuff” usually guarantee you a trip to sister Exume’s office for a skirt holding spanking. Although taking this trip down memory lane kinda make me slightly angry and wanna pull sister Exume’s wig out… (I never did) I’m in no way Aggressive! All the girl from my promotion are Doctors, Lawyers, Computer engineers, Nurses, Teachers… strong smart women. When we occasionally meet or facebook we hardly recall the spankings but all the good time and fun we’ve had in school.
My point is our IQ’s didn’t drop we grew up to be smart successful women.
That was just spanking at school… Now at home: although my mom had master “the look” (you know the one that goes “boy you gonna get IT”)to a point that she didn’t even need to spank anymore. Occasionally someone would get out of line and get spank. I got spank a number of time, My sister got spanked quite a lot, and my brother got spanked a whole lot. He is Electrical engineer graduate top in his call they even ran out A’s to give him. Great kid! never got him trouble or anything. My sister’s a Nurse smart successful woman also, and I am a computer engineer, happy, never been to a shrink chair nor plan to. We never got in a fight or behave anywhere aggressively. Once in a while I have to call on Jesus to help not pull someone wigs out… but who hasn’t? especially when someone walk up to me and told me my cute little baby was too FAT and I need to put her on a diet pfft!
(If you get a beat down it has nothing to do with me being spanked as a child) So my study totally contradict their study. I wonder what exactly they mean by “spanking”?
Spanking is NOT ABUSE! it’s not smashing heads and beating like they just stole from the king. The Bible say “spare the rods spoil the child” and turn around and said “do not irritate your child” so IMO spanking is not something you do out of anger, you don’t just lashed out on your kids like you crazy. Spanking is correcting with love and patience, not pounding on a child like a boxing bag. I’m pretty sure if we compare their idea of spanking and what I know we could probably agree on something… Anyway I know this is a sensitive subject so what do you think? were you spanked as a child? do you think it has affect you in any way? Do you spank your own kids? The floor is yours ladies!
