Spanking Makes Children Aggressive Toward Others (Study)

February 07, 2012

If you spank or yell at your children, it could make them more aggressive towards other kids. That’s the finding of a review of 20 years of studies on the subject. Researchers say children who are physically punished tend to be more aggressive toward their parents, siblings, friends and, later, their spouse. The findings have been published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal.
