It is important for children to learn the difference between right and wrong at an early age. Punishment is necessary to help them learn this distinction. To what extend do you agree or disagree with this opinion ? What sort punishments should parents and teachers be allowed to use to teach good behaviour for children?

Learning the difference between right and wrong is vital for children especially at an early age, because their character forms at this period. If children do the wrong behaviour, parents sometimes consider punishment to teach their children which behaviors are correct or incorrect. I strongly believe that physical punishment is not a good way, and parents and teachers should find another way to show children the distinction between wrong and right.
