Really? Huh -- IME, the opposite is true. Corporal punishment is most
effective with preverbal (preintellectual) children, because children at
that stage of development cannot be reasoned with. A spanking is more
effective (seems to me) with a two-year-old than a twelve-year-old.
I want to meet this 12-year-old who you can reason with. ;-)
I tend to agree with the observation that most spankings are parental temper
tantrums.
