- Age-appropriate expectations
- Limits accompanied by empathy
Children who are raised this way don't need much in the way of discipline at all, and they become self-disciplined adults.
However, children who are spanked are more likely to exhibit:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Drug use
- Aggression as they get older
The only positive outcome that's ever been shown from spanking is immediate compliance; however, corporal punishment is associated with long-term compliance.
