Corporal Punishment and Child Behavioural and Cognitive Outcomes through 5 Years of Age: Evidence from a Contemporary Urban Birth Cohort Study

Intimate Partner Violence and Risk for Child Neglect during Early Childhood in a Community Sample of Fragile Families
TL;DR: The authors explored the relationship between child neglect and intimate partner violence in a longitudinal community sample of 1,740 families with young children, with a special focus on the association between specific typologies of both neglect behaviors and IPV, finding evidence that coercive IPV is an important driver of the connections between IPV and subsequent neglect through affecting the mother's well-being and ability to provide basic care and nurturance.

Repeated exposure to high-frequency spanking and child externalizing behavior across the first decade: a moderating role for cumulative risk.
TL;DR: Controlling for gender, race, maternal nativity, and city of residence, a cumulative risk index is found to significantly moderate the effects of repeated harsh parenting on child behavior, with the effect of repeated high frequency spanking being amplified for those experiencing greater levels of cumulative risk.
