[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 517915, member: 3419"] Well, having two kids, with two completely different personalities, I can kind of see where they're coming from. And I understand this part, at least for my son: A[I]nd, it may be that children who are genetically predisposed to aggression are the ones most likely to be spanked for their behavior, but the current study by Barnes and his colleagues suggests that spanking in response will just increase that type of behavior. [/I]Our difficult child saw it as a challenge rather than punishment. I was shocked the first cpl times I spanked him and he hit me back. Of course, we learned that it didn't work ... but we also had to learn to restrain him, but that made him just as mad. So I can't say that spanking, per se, increases the behavior. I don't know that the researchers can say for certain that the behavior doesn't just increase on its own, i.e. if you walked out of the room, the kid would rage all by himself. Anyhoo ... [/QUOTE]
