The data available shows hitting kids does absolutely nothing to increase desired behaviors and in many cases is linked to increase in unwanted behaviors.
Yeah I can 100% confirm this. My parents beat me when I was a kid.
I’ve learned to lie better. It’s not something I’m proud of.
Also explains a lot about American culture being what it is.
We all learned to convincingly lie our way out of “the wooden spoon”

Edit: forgot my point, but yes, I too became a master liar.

Hitting your kids just teaches them to self harm before problem solving
