So 2 out of 10 rather than 5/10 from the previous generation. I would expect the absolute basement for this is probably like 5% or so, so well on our way to effectively eradicating it. But that wouldn't have been a sensational enough headline
FTA: Millennial/Z: 20%, Gen X: 45%
As an Xennial parent, I didn't find it necessary.
I think there are times when it’s appropriate but I never once hit my kid. Never even threatened it. I felt there were more effective ways to deal with behaviors I didn’t like.
