If by not spanking them, you believe you are showing them love,if they turn out bad in future, they will turn back and kill you and they will let you know you were the one that ruined their lives.

If you spank them on the other hand n they still turn out to be wayward, you as a parent will be happy you did what you ought to do and people near you will testify to the fact that you didnt spare the rod but that child just want to be bad.

So I believe you should spank if need be and talk to them more but don't let your child dictate what you should do or not do.
You own you child not the American govt, it is you father's name that is at stake not theirs.

@ terrike

I know ur kids are not pako but you,you,you . . . . you are pure pako like moi. undecided
I dont agree with all these studies myself, if spankin were to make kids IQ lower, What about all those tough beating by teachers and those wicked punishments in Nigeria high schools? we still have the intelligent ones among us despite all those beatings.

FamilySpanking Can Lower You Child's Iq by ritaNL(op): 11:03pm On Sep 27, 2009
.Does this change your mind about spanking? Spanking can lower your child's IQ


Forget everything else you've ever read about spanking. All the arguments about how ineffective it is or how it can damage the relationship between you and your child, all the other arguments against spanking you've heard 10,000 times before. Perhaps this brand new research, showing that spanking can lower your child's IQ, will change your mind about spanking once and for all.

Professor Murray Straus of the University of New Hampshire has discovered that the traumatizing effects of spanking have a spillover effect on IQ. Specifically, children who were spanked had lower IQs than children who were not spanked. Straus is presenting the results of his research at the 14th International Conference on Violence, Abuse, and Trauma, in San Diego, California, today.

To conduct his research, Straus followed children in two different age groups (ages two to four and ages five to nine). He looked at children who were being spanked and children who were not being spanked. He then followed up to see how all of the children were doing four years later, so that he could investigate any differences between being spanking versus not being spanking.

Here's what he found:

The IQ scores of children ages two to four who were spanked were 5 points lower four years later than children who were not spanked.
The IQ scores of children ages five to nine who were spanked were 2.8 points lower four years later than children who were not spanked.
How often parents spanked their children also made a difference in how well the children were doing. Children who were spanked frequently were developing more slowly than children who were spanked less frequently. Even occasional spankings had a measurable impact on child development.
According to Straus, being spanked is extremely stressful and can become a chronic source of stress for young children. They may experience post-traumatic stress symptoms such as being afraid that terrible things are about to happen and being easily startled. These symptoms are associated with lower IQ.

Straus' findings are already attracting considerable online buzz and the study is likely to be cited in future by the most respected global health and child protection authorities. The United Nations has urged all member states to pass laws making violence against children, including corporal punishment, illegal. Many have done so, but Canada has not.
