[originaltext] Doctors for children from the U.S. University have taken a loo

Doctors for children from the U.S. University have taken a look at one measure of children’ s health in Egypt, the Philippines and India—the extent to which children suffer body punishment and abuse. The data shows interesting cultural differences about what seems to be acceptable when it comes to physically punishing children." Among the things we learned, for example, was that in India, slapping a child in the face or head is more common than spanking them, " the researchers say. "And in Egypt, 25 percent of the mothers said that they had beaten their child up, which was defined as hitting them over and over again with a closed fist." "And then the other interesting things were, like the Philippines, the rate of telling people that evil spirits was going to get them, the kind of emotional, kind of threatening to lock them out of the home, was very high." However, despite the differences in punishment methods, some remarkable similarities have been found. For example, the education level of mothers impacted how often they use physical punishment. The more years of education, the lower the rate of serious physical punishment in kids.
