I disagree with most of them, only if your parent has the tendency to hit a child repeatedly for the slightest thing or use verbal abuse too often does any of the negative effects come into the picture. I got spanked as a kid, I got yelled at, but it's because I did was I wasn't supposed to do, and I have a good bond with me mum and dad today and I don't enjoy the whole fighting scenario, only if I'm angry but that is perfectly normal *walks into a corner and mumbles to himself* [img]tongue.gif[/img]
But I think spanking, not slapping or hitting as Someguy said, is required because kids do need to know what is right and wrong and they can't grow up not knowing the difference if it isn't enforced. If physical or verbal abuse comes into play when a child gets older, gets friends and thinks as an individual, then it will have very negative effects, I've seen it myself.
