Your child ‘could have behavioural problems’ because of spanking

Researchers say children who have been spanked by age five, are more likely to have behavioural problems by the time they hit the ages of six to eight years.

The research said the increase in behavioural problems should be attributed to spanking and not other factors like environment or attributes of the child.

“Our findings suggest that spanking is not an effective technique and actually makes children’s behavior worse not better,” said Elizabeth Gershoff, a psychological scientist at the University of Texas at Austin and lead author on the study.

“Parents spank for many reasons, such as their educational or cultural background or how difficult their children’s behavior is. These same reasons, which we call selection factors, can also predict children’s behavior problems, making it difficult to determine whether spanking is in fact the cause of behavior problems.

“We realised that the statistical method of propensity score matching could help us get as close to an experiment as possible.”

Before now, determining whether spanking caused behavior problems in children was difficult because researchers could not conduct experiments that randomly assign parents to spank or not.

Gershoff and her coauthors, Kierra Sattler (University of Texas at Austin) and Arya Ansari (University of Virginia), examined data from 12,112 children who participated in the Early Childhood Longitudinal study.

Children who were spanked at five years old showed more behaviour problems when compared with children who had never been spanked.

“The fact that knowing whether a child had ever been spanked was enough to predict their levels of behavior problems years later was a bit surprising. It suggests that spanking at any frequency is potentially harmful to children.”

“Although dozens of studies have linked early spanking with later child behavior problems, this is the first to do so with a statistical method that approximates an experiment.”

It was published in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science.

Lecrae featuring Chance the Rapper comming in 2018

By Unknown - Wednesday, November 22, 2017

The above photo has caused quite a stirring of emotions once Lecrae’s post went up on Instagram with the description of, “Talkin God and Gucci.” Many rejoiced with excitement while others took to the shaming of “sacred and secular” argument. Regardless, of which side the straw stirs your drink, sip slowly because this is hot news.
We can only speculate what this photo means. Perhaps it’s just what it is, the two having an encounter and sharing pleasantries about the ice cream faced rapper Mr. Guwap and adding the sprinkles of Jesus to the convo cone. Maybe, the two were just walking out of the studio together after recording a fire track that could melt our hopes and dreams into a puddle of happiness. NOTE: Guwap is Gucci Mane’s nickname. When he came out of prison a year ago, he said it stood for, “God Unity Wisdom Opportunity Power.” He also has an ice cream cone tattoo on his face.
In a recent AMA Reddit that Lecrae did, someone asked him, “Will you and Chance the rapper ever collab?” Lecrae’s response, “Tried…didn’t get it done in time. Maybe in the future.”
The obvious thing to take away here is that the two were working on a track together and the timing didn’t work out. It is unclear which of the two could not complete their verse or feature in time though. So for speculation point number two, this could be them handling some unfinished business.
In that same AMA, Lecrae was asked about doing a collaboration with Kendrick Lamar. His response, “Last time we spoke we agreed the song would be something special for the world. I plan on it.” So the idea of Lecrae grabbing Chance the Rapper or any other on-top-of-the-game rapper for a song is definitely something he thinks about. Plus, he’s already worked with Ty Dolla $ign and revealed that he recently “connected with Logic.”
Lecrae and Chance being friendly together really is a testament to something familiar to the rapper, “All Things Work Together.” In the beginning of the year, Lecrae told Hot 97 that he’s met Chance, but they don’t have a true relationship. He also said, that in the future, he’d love to collaborate with him. Those statements were made in March and we’ve seemed to come a long way since then.
But then again, it’s just a picture. It doesn’t have to be so serious….
