It isn't brain science... wiat a minute, it actually is... everynametaken Send a noteboard - 27/09/2009 01:18:35 AM
It works between 2 and 6 the best because kids in that age range do not have the cognitive capability to comprehend the ramifications of their behavior the way older children do. In that age range children learn primarily by associations like positive and negative reinforcement and aversion so a spanking WITH an explanation for the punishment as quickly as possible after the behavior to be curbed is VERY effective. The main problem is that parents don't apply the punishment immediately and they don't explain to their kids why they are being punished AND they add on all the verbal bullshit which the kids end up figuring out means they are a piece of shit who deserves violent responses for their actions.

Not lecturing you btw, I know you get it, just explaining the mechanism for anyone else who reads this.

Negative memories aren't all bad. Parents just need to be consistent, yet loving. *NM* Zalis - 26/09/2009 02:06:07 PM 345 Views

I do believe this study was created to prove the point, not test it. LadyLorraine - 26/09/2009 03:25:54 PM 749 Views
What are your grounds for that belief? jh - 26/09/2009 04:11:37 PM 752 Views

Larzelere is not the study organizer, though, but someone critical of it. Legolas - 26/09/2009 07:04:52 PM 715 Views
