Besides being a controversial and perhaps insufficiently covered topic, spanking to discipline children has received more attention in the past few days. There’s a new study out by Harvard researchers about how spanking is affecting children’s brain development in ways similar to more severe forms of violence. A psychologist on TikTok, Dr. Han Ren, PhD, who has over 96.2K followers and over 1.1M million likes, posted a video explaining the recent Harvard research as well as few other reels regarding the topic around children and spanking.
Bored Panda got a chance to discuss some issues with Dr. Ren and get to know her. Let us know in the comment section what your thoughts are about this attention-drawing and controversial practice!
