behavioral manner. When I was growing up, my parents believed spanking was the best possible solution for a child who would disobey.

carried out when a child does something wrong is spanking. Many believe spanking can be harmful to a child’s development, while others believe spanking is beneficial and a crucial part of a child’s development.
