A Consultant Paediatric Haematologist and Oncologist at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, Idi-Araba, Prof. Edamisan Temiye, has warned parents against using starvation as a form of punishment for children, noting that it can lead to depression and aggression.

“Meting out harsh treatment on a child can affect their psychological development and the ability to contribute to the growth of the society.”

He noted that such measures adversely impact a child’s entire life as the effects in most cases, result in negative outcomes. “Children who are from friendly and loving families are usually brighter and they express themselves more. They contribute more positively to society than those from places where children are shouted at and beaten,” the paediatrician said.

The review noted that physical punishment does not improve a child’s behaviour, but was rather harmful.
