Spanking is one of the most controversial issues when it comes to parenting. Some argue that spanking is important for discipline, others find the practice antiquated and violent. Pediatrician Dr. Cindy Gellner explores what modern research says about the potential long-term consequences of spanking.
Dr. Gellner: There's always controversy over spanking children. Some people say kids should never be spanked, and others argue that generations have spanked their children, and most adults who were spanked turned out just fine. And some kids these days really need a good spanking. So who's right? I'll discuss spanking on today's Scope. I'm Dr. Cindy Gellner.
Announcer: Keep your kids healthy and happy. You are now entering The Healthy Kid Zone with Dr. Cindy Gellner on The Scope.
Dr. Gellner: Every parent can tell you that disciplining their kids is hard work. But it's an important tool for teaching children what behavior is acceptable and what behavior is not. However, a new study in The Journal of Pediatrics shows that parents who choose to physically discipline their children may be conditioning them towards domestic violence.
Kids learn how to behave towards other people by following the examples their parents set for them. Children who are repeatedly spanked learn that aggression is a normal way to react to a stressful situation, and so they lash out at those they love when they are older. The long-term effects of kids who are spanked or had other physical punishments have been studied many times, and they show that those children are more likely to have mental health issues or substance abuse disorders.
So what's a parent to do? Some of the best discipline isn't even about discipline at all. Instead, it's about catching them when they're doing something good and praising them when they do the right thing or are helpful. Kids really do want to try hard to please their parents, believe it or not. When problem behaviors do arise, punishments like timeouts, loss of privileges, or having to face natural consequences can be very effective.
As a parent and a pediatrician, I know that sometimes doing those things just doesn't cut it. Some children absolutely can be more difficult to discipline than others. If your child seems overly defiant no matter what you do, ask your pediatrician about referring you and your child to a therapist or other mental health provider who can help determine the underlying cause of the behavior and help with management.

Truth: Sometimes parenting a small child can be both physically and emotionally draining, leaving you completely wiped out after a long day. But even when you’re at the end of your rope, the last thing you should do is give in to the impulse to spank.
Even if you were raised on the occasional swat yourself, striking your toddler is detrimental to her wellbeing.
While you might think a quick spank will make your tot sit up and take notice, the practice isn’t an effective way to discipline children. Instead, lashing out models the wrong kind of behavior and it can leave an enduring mark beyond the physical one. In fact, research shows that hitting kids can increase their risk of aggression, antisocial behavior and mental health problems later on.
Spanking is also counterproductive when it comes to bonding with your toddler. The reason? In order to thrive, kids need to feel physically safe with their parents, not frightened or threatened in any way.
To understand the gravity of this issue, it’s important to learn the dangers of spanking as well as some safe alternatives, plus when to seek help if you can’t control your anger.
It’s natural to feel the urge to spank (most of us experience it once in a while). And many parents today were punished this way as children, which makes it seem like somewhat normal family behavior.
And yet, nearly all experts agree that spanking should be retired once and for all since it’s ineffective and harmful to a child's physical, psychological and social development. Here’s why:
It misses the point. By hitting your child, you’re not teaching the difference between right and wrong, just which behaviors will earn a spanking. Kids who are spanked may refrain from a behavior they know will result in that form of punishment, but they haven’t developed self-control.
Spanking is violent. Spanking is the epitome of bullying (as in, a very large, strong person hitting a smaller, weak one). And it's definitely behavior you don’t want replicated on the playground. Research shows that children who are spanked are more likely to use physical force against their peers and later on with their own children.
It hurts a child’s morale. Spanking can be humiliating and demeaning to a child, chipping away at self-esteem and morale. It can also negatively affect your child-parent relationship.
Spanking doesn’t teach. The chance to impart coping skills flies out the window when you hit. Spanking denies the chance to learn alternative ways of dealing with anger and frustration.
It causes injuries. This is especially the case when it happens in the heat of anger, as it may escalate into serious abuse. But spanking after the fact seems cruelly calculated and, in the long run, less effective in correcting behavior, since the punishment is so far removed from the offense.
Shaking can be worse. As bad as spanking a child is, shaking a child or a baby is worse (don’t believe it’s somehow safer than hitting). This extremely dangerous form of punishment can cause a baby’s death. And even though a toddler’s neck muscles are stronger than an infant’s, shaking can still cause serious injury to a toddler’s eyes and/or brain. Never, ever shake, period.
If stark fear takes over — for example, your toddler wanders into the street — and you lash out with a fast slap without thinking, try not to feel guilty. But do apologize right away and give a reassuring hug. Offer an explanation and talk about your concern for your child’s safety: "I’m sorry I hit you. You scared Mommy when you ran into the street. Remember: No running into the street."
Next, keep in mind that there are several alternatives to hitting your child. Take a look at the following so you have a few ideas in your back pocket the next time you feel the urge to spank:
Give a time-out. A chance to sit quietly and cool off might be just the ticket. A time-out should last one minute for each year of age. Have your tot sit in a quiet spot and set the timer. If she leaves, send her back but ignore any tantruming that occurs.
Present choices. Rather than say no over and over, which can raise the temperature of an argument, give your little one a choice. For example, "Red shirt or blue one?" cedes control back to your child, which may help change her behavior in that moment.
Take a breather. Can’t take another minute? Leave your tot in a safe space and go into another room. Close your eyes, count to 10, do some yoga poses — or anything else that’ll help you calm down and redirect your own anger away from striking your child.
Praise the good . A little psychology 101: Try positive reinforcement . This means encouraging the behavior you want with praise or a reward. On a regular basis, try to catch your tot doing the right thing, like picking up her toys or heading to bed without whining .
Call in backup. There’s no shame in asking for help. If you’re at your wit’s end and worry you’ll lose it, ask your partner or a friend to spot you for a little while so you can regroup. And promise to do the same for that person if he or she is in a similar situation.
Self-control isn’t easy to come by for everyone. If your urge to spank seems overwhelming, it may be time for professional help. You (or your partner) should also get help right away if hitting is habitual, is aimed at the face, ears or head, or is hard enough to leave a mark or bruise. Hitting is also dangerous if an object is used to strike or you spank while intoxicated or taking drugs.
Talk to a therapist or your child’s doctor, or call the Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453). Lashing out physically at a child in anger is a danger sign. Though you may not have intentionally hurt your child yet, the potential for physical or emotional damage is there. Before angry outbursts lead to something more serious, act now. The same goes if your partner shows violent tendencies.
And even if you'd never dream of spanking or slapping a child, don't assume your child's caregivers feel the same way. Sitters, relatives and teachers should be instructed never to administer any form of physical punishment. If you ever suspect your child was hit, act immediately to remedy the situation.
