think it really depends on the child as well as the disposition of the parents. In this thread, I can only comment in general and in general, I don't see a trend one way or another.


I was hit as a kid and it didn’t turn out well. I have very little relationship with my dad because of it. It just taints your relationship, IMO. Imagine you had a friend who hits you when you mess up, you wouldn’t be friends with them long and you’d grow to resent them. Problem with the parent is there’s no way to opt out of being hit. It breeds fear, insecurity, and low self worth.

Your parent is supposed to teach you, not hit you. Hitting is lazy, and there are ways to discipline that are just as effective without hitting.

You said, "hit." Do you mean spanked? Or did your father ball up his fist and punch you? Did he slap you? What do you mean by "hit"?

If this is how you feel, then your dad did more than give you a quick slap or quick spanking.

For some children, there are definitely other ways of discipline as effective as slapping or spanking them, but for some, spanking is as effective as anything. Again, to say it's lazy is a lie. It usually involves a parent having to actively and physically address the issue right then and there. A parent could say "Well, I'm not getting you that x-box game said I was gonna get you" or something like that and it could be viewed as much more passive and lazy in terms of showing that he or she doesn't want to see that behavior displayed again.
