    Opponents of Pro-Spanking try to appeal toemotion by correlating spanking with childabuse.On the contrary, banning spanking only makesthe situation of children worse.In Sweden, there has been a lot more child abusesince the law was passed banning spanking. Itappears that Sweden has not developed a goodalternative for spanking. Since spanking wasbanned, parents resorted to yelling andscreaming at their children, and some believedthis was equally, perhaps more, destructive.(Fuller, 2009).

    Studies have shown that children who havehad the experience of spanking tend todemonstrate a more aggressive behaviorcompared to those who have not.

    solving problems aggressively (p.1).It is a process of child rearing that can havepotential side effects in the future.
