There is too much coddling of children in kindergarten in American schools. They should be learning the basis of non-abelian groups and wave function collapse, not finger painting and talking about their feelings. Other states should be like Mississippi and bring back corporal punishment for naughty students.

- Grakel 5y agoCompletely agree. Let's just learn.

This narrative review summarises the findings of 69 prospective longitudinal studies to inform practitioners and policy makers about physical punishment's outcomes. Our review identified seven key themes. First, physical punishment consistently predicts increases in child behaviour problems over time. Second, physical punishment is not associated with positive outcomes over time. Third, physical punishment increases the risk of involvement with child protective services. Fourth, the only evidence of children eliciting physical punishment is for externalising behaviour. Fifth, physical punishment predicts worsening behaviour over time in quasi-experimental studies. Sixth, associations between physical punishment and detrimental child outcomes are robust across child and parent characteristics. Finally, there is some evidence of a dose–response relationship. The consistency of these findings indicates that physical punishment is harmful to children and that policy remedies are warranted. https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(21)00582-1/fulltext https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6...
