Children that grow up with Physical punishments as the norm also take out their frustrations on others …The brain reacts to environmental challenges in various conscious ways/actions, levels of Norepinephrine & Dopamine often rise to produce a type of Aggression. ? Coercive Parenting is Wrong!!!

Parents that beat haven’t learnt to Regulate their own feelings & use appropriate strategies!! ? Beating a child incubates Aggression & conduct disorder, Depression, lack of confidence, drug addiction, hostile & lack of good communication skills!! ? A child that is trained through violence will always use violence to communicate because they don’t how else to manage conflict!! The more physical & verbal abuse a child gets.
