Watch: Experts say physical punishment is still too common.
Physical punishment does nothing to improve children's behaviour, a new review has concluded - the opposite is true, it turns out. 
Yet most countries around the world still allow it, despite smacking being "increasingly seen as a form of violence".
"Parents hit their children because they think doing so will improve their behavior," said Elizabeth Gershoff of the University of Texas, senior author of the new paper, published in prestigious medical journal
"Unfortunately for parents who hit, our research found clear and compelling evidence that physical punishment does not improve children's behavior and instead makes it worse."
