Even when controlling for other factors that affect child aggression by age five, such as parental neglect, maternal depression and stress, and the child's aggressive tendencies as a toddler, researchers found that maternal aggression begets childhood aggression. Toddlers who are spanked were more likely to grow into kindergarteners that bully, hit, and were destructive and disobedient.
Yeah, that explains gangs.

Spare the rod and spoil the child.
It’s all B.S.
Or, more likely, more aggressive tots have to be spanked more to get their attention.
This is just more crap from the Alinsky wing of Science to destroy basic common sense familiar relationships.

Aggressive tots need more spanking... lOl!!!
Actually, a certain amount of aggression is a good thing. The opposite is called “pushover”. I honestly would have desired that my parents spanked me more often. I got it one time. I have a hard time with conflict, but age is rectifying the situation finally. I’m 56 and getting rather cantankerous.
Or could this study have it backwards and it is mothers of more aggressive children who are more likely to spank?
Is this the storyline we're going with?
Maybe they were spanked because they were bullies, destructive and disobedient. No need to spank a well-behaved child.
What happens when it’s the FATHERS who spank the tots?
I was spanked as a kid and I turned out fine.
And if you don’t believe me, I’ll smack the crap outta ya.
;P
Abuse is likely to cause aggressive behavior. DISCIPLINE, unlike ABUSE, teaches a child respect, self-control, right-from-wrong, and so on and so forth.
These liberals have been trying to convince us that abuse and discipline are the same thing.
The last time I checked, those anarchists running around this country and destroying lives and private property came from those “spanking is evil” homes.
More of your liberal psycho-babble.
That’s why fathers spank...duh.
***Spanking toddlersmakes for more aggressive kindergartners, according to a new study from Tulane University in New Orleans. ***
Bunkum! If this were true then my brother and I would have been in prison at a verry early age.
Now if a distressed/disturbed(?) Mother 'hits' her children and often, can understand that; probably inmature and agressive in many ways, as well, with children.
But fair spanking? No. way!
Every single violent child I have run into in my life, where the parent had declared their child rearing philosophy, was the direct result of parental avoidance of discipline.
Children act out to get parental attention. Children instinctively know what is right and wrong. If they don’t get called on things, it’s in effect parental abuse, “Hey, they don’t care about me, or what I do.” Kids will act out to see how far they can go (testing the parents), and if the parent actually gives a damn about them.
Parents reluctant to use corporal punishment as a last resort, are telegraphing to their children that they ultimately don’t give a damn what they do.
“Hey honey, you just do as you please. And when you leave the home as an adult, society will let you do as you please too.”
If done correctly, it can also build young boys into men. Instead of girlie boys. Boys learn quickly that there is a line that can’t be crossed. I learned this early in my life. When I did cross that line.......I felt it. As I grew older, all my father had to do was look at me a certain way and I knew what the next step was going to be. The unspoken word is a powerful tool if you learn it early. These people are fools and need to stay out of our lives.
