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

The children's intelligence quotient is high in early age. It is an ideal time to make them learn

right

or wrong. The grasping power is sharp in the young age. Some people claim that

punishment

is required to make children aware of

right

or wrong.

This

essay will discuss why punishing children is entirely unnecessary which can lead to risk of depression, and what are the other means parents and teachers can

use

to achieve the same objectives. Every

child

is unique and Compared to adults, they will have a very different perspective towards activities they do, because they do not fully understand the consequences. Even though some people believe that

punishment

is necessary to make children understand what is

right

and what is wrong, It has its own drawbacks. Punishing a

child

for its action can seriously harm the

child

's innovative thinking and it may affect the overall mental growth of the

child

. And

also

the fear of

punishment

can make the children stop doing anything out of the box.

For Example

, If a parent or a teacher punish a

child

who is drawing on a wall, can make the

child

to think that drawing is wrong. It can affect the drawing abilities of the

child

for the entire life.

Therefore

, It is completely unnecessary and harmful to

use

punishment

as means to discipline children. Disciplining children is not an easy task. Parents and teachers struggle every day to keep children on the

right

track. Rather than physically punishing, there are a number of ways we can make children aware of what they can do and they cannot. Parents and teachers need to be aware that kids always learns from adults, so rather than punishing them straight away, it is always preferable to make them understand the bad consequences of wrong actions.

This

helps kids to understand and to avoid any wrongful acts in future.

For Instance

, A kid who is running down the street may not be aware of the risks of oncoming vehicles. Parents can explain the kid about the dangers associated with walking on the road and teach how pedestrians should walk on the sidewalks.

This

can help the

child

not to make that mistake again. In Conclusion,

This

essay discussed why it is not advisable to

use

corporal

punishment

on children in order to teach what is acceptable and what is not. And

also

the other ways like explaining the end results to impart the awareness in children. In my opinion, Physical

punishment

should be completely discouraged as a way of disciplining the children and

use

reasonings to improve their decision making skills.
