520 _aThis report was commissioned by the Office of the Children's Commissioner. Its aim is to provide parents and professionals with fundamental knowledge surrounding the negative effects that physical punishment has on children's behaviour and wellbeing. It is also hoped that the report will lead to more informed discussions and decision making around the debate concerning s59 of the Crimes Act (1961). This report is a summary of a larger report on national and international research findings on family discipline that was prepared for academics and policy makers. The report summarises that many studies have shown that long-term use of physical punishment as a form of discipline is associated with negative outcomes in children's behaviour. Furthermore, there are both immediate and long-term effects on children, including: social behaviour, intellectual development, quality of parent-child relationship, mental health problems, and moral internalisation. The report also states that physical punishment is not proven to result in compliance. Instead, children should be surrounded by a safe and loving environment where they are clear about what is expected of them, with rewards for good behaviour and minor reprimand for disobedience.
