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 extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion. What sort of punishment should parents and teachers be allowed to use to teach good behaviour to children?

Some people argue that it is essential for children to learn moral values from an early age and

punishment

is the best

way

to teach

this

.

This

essay totally agrees with that statement because parents’ and teachers’ roles are to guide children

into

Suggestion

in

the right path.

However

, parents should not beat their children and

instead

, they can use other sorts of

punishment

. It is essential to use

punishment

as one of the learning methods to show children the right path.

This

is because youngsters will become spoilt if they can do whatever they want and still receive no

punishment

when they make mistakes.

Therefore

, parents and teachers should use

this

way

to teach their children valuable lessons and morality.

For example

, recent research by Oxford University revealed that adults who were punished during their childhood in the correct

way

are more reliable and ethical compared to their peers because people’s character is built mainly during childhood. Physical

punishment

should no longer be used in the modern world.

This

means that parents and teachers should always be careful about their

way

of

punishment

because certain

punishment

that does not involve beating the children is useful.

For example

, parents can take away a

favorite

something regarded with special favor or liking

favourite

toy from a child or prevent them from watching TV. There are

also

some other constructive ways of punishments.

For example

, nursery schools in Japan ask children to plant trees when they do something wrong.

Such

punishments are beneficial for the children and the society. After all, the main purpose of the

punishment

is to teach the child a lesson and not to hurt him physically. In conclusion, it is vital for young people to learn how to distinguish between good and bad things and avoid doing mistakes and the most effective

way

to achieve

this

is to punish them;

however

,

this

punishment

should not be physical; rather it should be psychological and practical.
