Physical punishment of children ‘not effective and increases behaviour problems’ Physical punishment of children is not effective and increases behaviour problems, experts say (Danny Lawson/PA) Physically punishing children is not effective in improving their behaviour and instead increases behavioural difficulties, researchers suggest. The review led by UCL and an international team of experts analysed 20 years of research on the topic, looking at 69 studies worldwide. The research followed children over time and analysed data on physical punishment and a range of different outcomes. It suggests that across the world two thirds (63%) of children between the ages of two and four, approximately 250 million children, are regularly subjected to physical punishment by their caregivers.
