Question

11．Should parents ever hit their children？
Research suggests many of us are likely to respond"no"，and public support for spanking（打屁股） has been falling over the years．But surverys also show that 75 percent to nearly 90 percent of parents admit to spanking their child at least once．
I was raised in a zero-tolerance home for disrespect，and my parents often turned to physical punishment．And，no，I don't feel I was damaged by it．
Nothing is more annoying than watching ill-mannered behavior from children．
But there is data to suggest that a return to old-school spanking isn't the answer．
Two years ago，Newsweek reported that it had found data suggesting that teens whose parents used physical punishment were more likely to become aggressive．
Murray Straus，professor at the University of New Hampshire in America，has studied the topic of children and spanking for decades．He said that children who were physically punished have lower IQs than their peers（同等的人）．It may be that children with lower IQqs were more likely to get spanked，but the punishment may have been counterpoductive（反作用的） to their mental development，as well．
Some researchers make the argument that occasional open-handed smacks（用巴掌打） on the bottom are not only harmless but can have some benefit．
Last year，Marjorie Gunnoe，a psychologist at Calvin College，studied teens who have never spanked．There are a greater number of children growing up without ever having been physi punished．Gunnoe's research suggests they don't turn out any better than those who were sometimes spank．
There are some parents who simply cannot control their tempers（脾气）．But I still believe that the best parents are the ones who are able to offer fair and firm discipline without ever turning to physical puishment．
