According to the authors, one of the main reasons is our belief as a society that physical punishment is an acceptable. And it all starts with the belief that spanking is good for our children.
In this insightful, well-researched book, Dr. Marshall reveals:
- Hitting a child causes more behavioral problems than it solves
- Spanking has been found to increase aggression in children
- Cases of poor self-image and depression have been traced to childhood corporal punishment
- Repetition of one's own childhood experience is a poor substitute for informed parenting
Parents who explore this book will be amply rewarded as they learn alternatives to spanking.
Reviews-
Dr. Marshall adroitly exposes the myths and falsehoods that far too many upstanding citizens endorse in order to camouflage their mistreatment of children. He shows the frightening consequences individually and collectively. Why Spanking Doesn't Work is particularly welcome at a time when much of the world is embracing, rather than rejecting, violent solutions. I enthusiastically recommend it.
