Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research consistently shows that physical punishment is ineffective and can have negative long-term effects on a child's behavior and mental health. It is not recommended as a strategy for stopping temper tantrums or any other unwanted behavior. There are more positive and effective ways to discipline children that do not involve physical punishment.
