Quarreling parents often beat children

Parents who often quarrel among themselves, are more likely to raise their hands and on their children. That is the conclusion reached by researchers.

Despite the fact that modern pedagogy has for many years strongly opposed to any corporal punishment   children as a means of education, many parents continue to carrot and stick policy. Researchers from the School of Health and Tropical Medicine at Tulane University in the US found that children were significantly more likely to hit those families in which the father and mother regularly quarrel among themselves.

"The aim of our study was to better understanding of the problem and conventional aggression domestic violence   between the parents and the use of Corporal Punishment   against children under the age of three, "- said the study's author, Professor Catherine Taylor.

For many of us the thought of spanking or other physical punishment of three years kids seem wild. But, as it turned out, this practice is quite common. And especially the three-year kids often beaten in the very conflict families in which the parents are constantly trying to find out the relationship between them.

In the attention of the researchers were 2000 families with three-year child. It turned out that within a month the kids at least once received by the pope from their parents in two-thirds of families. If the home of the child, both parents showed aggression toward each other, the child's chances of running into corporal punishment   grew exactly twice.

Alas, violence only begets violence. And scientists have once again proved it.
