> “I don't have enough data to draw any conclusions myself.” The field of psychiatry exists to collect this kind of data and draw conclusions. Doctors agree that physical abuse is traumatizing to children. Not all of them certainly, but a significant amount. Think about whether you’d want to perpetuate this kind of treatment onto your own children. Would you hit them knowing that there’s a non-negligible chance they’ll be working out that treatment decades later with a therapist? What would you actually gain by doing that? There’s no productive reason to hit children. If the only justification is “I was beaten too”, then you have the power to stop the cycle.

I don't believe psychiatry here. Life is tough experience in many aspects for most of us. We experience many forms of abuse not only physical, psychical too .... But psychical is harder too prove and measure. How they quantify all circumstances and decide that physical violence was determining or significantly more important here? Most people can't even recognize or name psychical traumas they live through... We all just grow scars and being traumatized by ever new experiences whole life. Which was worst? You will have immediate reply to what will say here. I was beaten - not too hard in my early youth. It was common in our times/area my parents weren't hard on this. I don't blame them.I'm completely fine with this. I didn't beat my already teen children. What I remember more was schaming by peers and or aunt's, whole catholic environment and other variations of minor - would would say - psychical violence. I was very shy and awkward for most of my life most probably thanks to this and not few beatings. But beating is easy to name, detect and measure. Physical violence is easy to beat boy in whole spectrum of violence. Edit: typos on phone

And generally, it has a bigger and more lasting impact than physical abuse alone (but they often go together).
