The use of spanking as a means of discipline is not an effective punishment. It can lead to negative consequences such as fear, aggression, and antisocial behavior in children. When children are spanked by their parents or teachers, they may become fearful of them and may also imitate the same behavior when they are angry or frustrated. Therefore, experts recommend using positive reinforcement and rewards to encourage good behavior instead of punishment.
