English term or phrase: spanking vs hitting
Last fall, the journal Child Development published research findings stating that yelling at your kids can be just as bad as spanking and could cause behaviour problems and emotional development issues. [...] The effects of frequent verbal discipline and insults were comparable to those of physical discipline (like spanking and hitting) over the course of the two-year study.
