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?

One important stage in a

This
kind but firm approach will achieve more than harsh punishments, which might entail many negative consequences unintended by the parents. To help a

learn the difference between right and wrong, teachers and parents should
firstly
provide a good role modelling in their own behaviour. After that, if sanctions are needed, the
punishment
should not be of a physical nature, as that merely sends the message that it is acceptable for larger people to hit smaller ones - an outcome which may well result in the

starting to bully others. Nor should the
