Why can't girls be spanked?

The brain tissue is located in the cranial cavity, and the skull is connected to the human spine through the atlanto-occipital joint. If parents spank their children too hard or too violently, the child's buttocks will be suddenly hit and the impact can be transmitted to the atlanto-occipital joint through the spine, which may cause overall deformation of the skull and cause damage to the brain stem. The consequences are disastrous.

Study shows: Children who are often physically punished have lower IQs

Recently, a four-year follow-up study of 1,510 children aged 2 to 9 showed that the average IQ of children who were not physically punished was 5 to 28 points higher than that of those who were frequently beaten. Some parents often use spanking to educate their children, which is extremely harmful to the children's physical and mental health. Spanking can cause hematoma around the child's buttocks, poor blood circulation, and even necrotizing inflammation. Children in the growth and development period have more capillaries and their organs are more delicate. Once they are hit by external force, they are prone to bleeding and damage to organs such as the heart, brain, liver, and kidneys.

Tip: Violence is more harmful to girls' mental health

In addition to damaging children's physical health, violent educational methods such as "spanking" are also extremely detrimental to girls' mental health. Compared with boys, girls have stronger self-esteem and weaker inner endurance. Corporal punishment will not only destroy the close relationship between girls and their parents, but also easily have a negative impact on girls' psychology. For example, using violent means such as spanking to educate some extroverted girls will not only fail to have an educational effect, but will also easily make the children develop a rebellious mentality, and may even cause the girls to become mentally distorted and unable to grow up healthily.
