US Virgin Islands: Teachers demonstrating in protest against the prospect of no longer being allowed to use corporal punishment, 2010 This is because infants have limited understanding and cannot relate punishment with action. Instead, spanking a child is a cruel and ineffective method of correction. Even proverbs warn against a child being beaten with a rod. And at the same time I recognize the truth of what everyone else is saying that it really can't be the goal of a spanking for it to end in tears. It's a spontaneous occurrence so it will naturally resist an agenda. It seems to be a general rule that the mind will tend to resist an idea that it perceives as coming from outside of itself and accept one that it identifies as being its own. Maybe this is not only true between people but even within one's own self, i.e. the desire for me to cry this particular time being resisted by the 'unconscious' emotional part of myself from where deep cathartic crying actually emerge. Stress release: Individuals may find similar benefits from spanking therapy as those from mindful activities, such as meditation.
