When it\u2019s inflicted on minors, especially in home and school settings, its methods may include spanking or caning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Corporal punishment or violent discipline by caregivers is the most common form of violence against children. Worldwide, 4 out of 5 children aged 2 to 14 are affected by corporal punishment. This happens in many basic settings &#8211; at home, in the classroom, in childcare, and in juvenile detention centres. And today, 86% of children in the world are not legally protected from this practice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While corporal punishment can lead to immediate obedience, researchers have found that the behavioural changes may only be short-term. Studies consistently show that corporal punishment is ineffective in the long run and may even cause behaviour problems to worsen over time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, hitting children reinforces aggressive behaviour. A variety of research studies have found that children who are hit are more likely to hit other people. The reason is simple. Physical punishment models aggressive behaviour, which teaches children to use violence to solve problems. It can also lead to bullying, dating violence, and other problem behaviours that involve having power over others.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spanking and other physical punishment damage the relationship between children and their parents or caregivers. Here are some reasons why corporal punishment shouldn\u2019t be tolerated by any society:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is a form of child abuse<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It can increase aggression<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Antisocial behaviour<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Physical injury<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mental health issues<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Poor educational outcomes<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Perpetration of violence\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lack of acceptance by peers\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depression Disorder\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Psychological Damage\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019ve been affected by any of the issues in this article, or would like to learn more about corporal punishment in Thailand please email <\/span><a href=\"mailto:info@childlinethailand.org\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">info@childlinethailand.org<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or contact us via social media <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/childlinethailand\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/childlinethailand<\/span><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/saidek1387\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/saidek1387<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is Corporal Punishment?
