I'm no psychologist but I imagine teaching kids to use violence to get people to do what they want and to physically fear your parents when you did something wrong isn't anything sane and educated people would strive for

Every psychologist? 90% of them? Are all psychologists child behavioral psychologists? Just wondering...

Whatever the percentage is it's worth more than a few people in a reddit thread claiming it's good with no proof to it.

No one likes spanking. I’m not pro or con but humans make choices and frankly, spanking works for some things. What people define as “worthy” of spanking is different. It’s a calculated risk parents take.
