Lesson Overview

3.16 – Why Spanking Undermines Emotional Growth: Spanking teaches fear, not understanding. It might stop behavior immediately, but it fails to teach long-term control. Physical punishment confuses children by mixing love with pain. This creates anxiety, resentment, and shame. It also models aggression as a problem-solving tool. Children may learn to avoid getting caught instead of learning self-regulation. Emotional growth requires safety and reflection, not physical dominance. Parents who replace spanking with communication teach emotional awareness instead. They help kids label feelings, find solutions, and calm themselves. Spanking undermines trust and delays maturity. Non-violent discipline teaches that respect cannot come from fear—it must come from understanding and compassion. Emotional safety is what truly helps a child grow strong from within.
