To Spank or Not to Spank?

One of the most controversial issues parents face when raising their children is whether to use spanking as a form of punishment. In this episode of The Lab, Daddy Clay and Daddy Brad talk with Dr. Elizabeth Gershoff, a professor who has been researching the topic. She explains the differences between corporal punishment and spanking. She also tells us why moms and dads spank their kids, along with whether or not spanking is on the decline. Can spanking lead to mental health problems including depression, anxiety and aggression? Are there other approaches to discipline?
