The NSPCC in the UK used to collect stats but teh last lot was 2008. Back than nearly all had been smacked at least once and half of teens in the last year I suspect its a lot less common now or at least people don't talk about it IRL [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

I think the change of attitude about spanking children started way back in the 1950s with Dr. Spock, and then established itself in the subsequent decades with loads of research in child development. By 2008, parents who wanted it had the information, so if they still spanked their kids then, and were open to admitting it, I don't see what has changed since then. What surprises me is that anyone would be surprised that some kids have never been spanked. I think it's just common knowledge. In my childhood, many of us were spanked, and yet some parents were 100% against it. I have no proof, but I have to assume their children, even in the "old days," were never spanked. I've read a lot of spanking forums that cater to adult spanking, and people often say they've never been spanked. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
