Okay first, I respect that you answered with actual sources. Secondly, I never said that parents SHOULD hit their kids and yell at them. It’s like you pick and choose what you read and then distort it and make them my words. I said any parent who constantly yells at their children isn’t fit to be a parent and that’s an exception because intense abuse isn’t good for anyone. BUT Parents around the world aren’t constantly berating and abusing their kids, but they yell at them and beat them if need be and yet you don’t see entire countries with anxious, unstable kids.

any joblo can state their credentials over reddit so you saying you have double, triple, quadruple the amount of degrees doesn’t mean anything. Someone who is actually a professional will not say that raising your voice at kids will make them grow into anxious beings because that is bold and simply false. I’m currently a business student. I have shorter classes due to covid so I’m sure we can make time for a discussion with my professor regarding research methods. But so we’re clear I’m arguing that hitting a child and screaming at them doesn’t mean that they’re automatically gonna be mentally unstable or have social issues. I’m also arguing that just because there’s research it doesn’t mean that it’s absolute. At the end of research papers they usually point out the flaws of the research and all the ways that the results could change if they added or removed elements of the research. So if they can admit that why can’t you? I’m arguing nothing more and nothing less than that so don’t twist my words. If I’m wrong I will admit it publicly on this thread. I will message you so you can contact me.
