They see their parents hitting them, so they think it's okay to hurt others, and they think it's okay to take their anger out on someone else. Spanking teaches a child fear, teaching him that he must lie to avoid being hit, forcing him to lie continually throughout his life. It's not right to hit your child, while you teach him not to hurt others, it can often confuse him, and that's when they start to make their own rules. “Spanking teaches your child to fear you, not listen to you or respect you.
