Yesterday’s spanking still hurts
Dr. Jackson went on to detail the long-lasting side effects of having been spanked as a child. “These include aggression, mental health concerns such as depression, feelings of hopelessness, anxiety, antisocial behaviors, and in more severe instances, trauma. Children who were spanked also may experience more alcohol and drug issues and engage in defiant or riskier behaviors. These experiences are not limited to childhood or adolescence. The effects continue into adulthood and for some require therapy to undo its effects.”
