Many parents hit their children without thinking deeply, but the the physical punishment pertains the emotional punishment as well.The scars can be deeper and more long lasing than a fleeting redness of the bottom. Abusive hitting has bad and long term effects on the minds of the children. Researches have found that the children who are raised in home turn out to be more egocentric and lonely . A child's memories of being spanked  can scars otherwise joyful scenes of growing up. People are more likely to recall traumatic events than pleasant ones.

   

    Spanking also devalues the parent-child relationship.A child lose all the respects to her parents by recalling the traumatic events for a number of times and one day they may want to keep themselves away from their parents out of long term silent pain. There are lot of other ways to correct the mistakes of the children. Children do not think rationally like adults, but they do have an innate sense of fairness, though their standards are not the same as adults. Most of the time they do mistakes without having the proper sense about those. So when the children turn off their faces from their parents after growing up,it also hits directly the hearts of the parents.
