In the article it examines the relationship between conservative Protestantism, corporal

punishment, and the physical abuse of children. Most of the conservative protestant parents
are for corporal punishment while others may say that corporal punishment is destructive to
children. One may argue that some of the conservative Protestants views have a lot to do with
religious believes.

attributions, study shows that those children who went through physical punishment dealt with
depressive and/or nervous break downs. Depression and anxiety where found more in a child

Child rearing methods vary from tradition to heritage. According to research, health practices
of children reared by training versus reared by punitive methods have a better health behavior.
Raising a child with sovereignty has a better outcome as it relates to health behavior. There
are not many studies on child health behavior as it relates to child rearing, so there are no hard
facts to base a hypothesis on.

in this article it establishes the correlation with the income a family versus the Childs
development in his or hers ability to retain the knowledge they should retain. One may argue
that a child that is less fortunate will not have the resources they may need to be able to keep
up with modern day education. Some example are having access to a computer and being able
to purchase a uniform if required. Study show that children who live in a low income house hold
have more behavior problems than a stable house hold child.
