Is corporal punishment need to discipline children

In this research, I will provide an overview statistics and past perspectives. There are many ways to punish your children and corporal punishment, just happens to be one of them. In today’s society, people are starting to realize the side effects of physical abuse.

Parents hitting children has always been an issue that has been hard to understand. There are many factors and questions arise with this subject. Mainly researching if the acceptance of hitting or spanking children is very important and widely accepted thru many cultures. My research will focus on the causes and reasons for spanking, hitting can have on children if any.

B. Supporting evidence Prof. Victoria Talwar of McGill University and Prof. Kang Lee of the University of Toronto performed an experiment with 63 kindergarten’s and first graders at 2
