A new study who researched the effects of smacking kids showed surprising results but it depends at which ages the kids have been smacked.The study "recommends" that smacking your kids between 2 and 6 years leads to more successful youngsters and adults in the long run.
In comparison with kids who haven't been beaten or kids who have been beaten beyond the age of 12 years the previous mentioned group of kids had advantages in academic rank, volunteer work, college aspirations, hope for the future, and confidence in their ability to earn a living when they grow up.
The study reviewed 2.600 persons of whom 25% never had been smacked. The 179 teenagers were asked when they got their last smack and how often they were smacked as child.
