As for studies that show children who experience corporal punishment are more likely to suffer from depression and anxiety, Sprigg dismissed that as the difference between beating and discplinary spanking.

I dismiss it as Psychobabble BS.

Correlation does not equal causation.

It is just as possible that depressed kids are more likely to act up and be in need of corporal punishment.

Well! That explains why us “baby boomers” and every generation before us ALL suffer from depression and anxiety.

It was because EVERY ONE OF US HAD OUR BUTTS WHACKED as children. After the 60’s most children where happy and free because they no longer had to “meet the board of education” when they were bad.

Mystery solved....as simple as dispensing with a paddling.
