A study published in the journal Child Development studied 2500 toddlers and found spanking may have “detrimental effects” on mental development and behavior. The study found that children who were spanked as 1 year olds were more aggressive as 2 year olds, and by age 3, did not perform as well as non spanked children on a test measuring thinking skills.
