According to researchers from the University of Manitoba, Canada, the use of physical punishment in raising a child, such as spanking, naps and belt whipping, leads to various psychological problems that increase the likelihood that such a person will be more susceptible to drug and alcohol abuse in the future.
“Individuals who have been subjected to physical punishment are more likely to develop mental disorders. As our study has shown, about two to seven percent of all mental illnesses are due to physical punishment, “said one of the researchers from the aforementioned university. . It is reported that as part of the study, scientists interviewed 35,000 American adults, which indicates that the conclusions are highly accurate.
However, we must pay tribute to the changed times — now physical punishment is most often used in families where parents abuse alcohol or take drugs. As for school or kindergarten, physical punishment is increasingly becoming an isolated phenomenon, as any teacher who gives up realizes that he can see the process itself tomorrow punishments on some Internet resource.
As a rule, such experiments may result in at least the dismissal of such a teacher from this school. At the same time, in the old days, students were flogged more often than not. It is noteworthy that in pre-revolutionary Russia, in many schools, flogging was almost an obligatory part of the educational process! At home, for a fault, they could even “attach” a belt or rod so much that it would not seem enough! As for our time, it seems that the most common form of punishment is “torture” called “a week without the Internet”.
