Even child abuse can reduce the IQ of children who are subjected to punishments such as spanking and similar. this research has been published by the journal of the Canadian Medical Association and was the completion of various studies for 20 years with regard to how physical punishment could affect children and its development.
While punishing children physically is no longer as common practice as it was years ago, is still practiced to give spankings under the excuse of ‘ discipline children ’ and continues the belief of those who believe that beating children to educate them is a bad thing only seeking to limit the authority of the parents in as it educates them.
Statements of Joan Durant, Professor at the University of Manitoba with respect to this research are as follows:
Not believe that this is a controversial research; of research activities and how they affect health, not lift so much scandal. But by engaging science with something that is almost a habit for many cultures and families, is considered a taboo; However, there has been no research which will be show to give spanking children and the like do not help in the long term to be best. ”
