The physical punishment by spanking or any other method was
widely accepted and it was used to instill obedience in children up until about
25 years ago. It was different from domestic abuse and it was used to make children
learn proper behavior. But a large number of studies conducted over the years
show no empirical evidence that spanking or any other physical punishment has a
long-lasting effect. So we can conclude
through this that this will not make a child more compliant in the long run.
