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 believe that punishment should be imposed on children to help them identify their mistakes.While I accept that
this
 is extremely favourable and should be applied, I think that parents and teachers have to choose the right methods to educate their children. In my view, punishment can change children’s awareness about the problems.Some behaviour
such
 as telling a lie or disrespect, immediate punishments play a key role for children to realize their faults and get rid of bad attitudes.Parents could give their children warnings or analyse them to understand If they are stubborn and secure their opinion.
For instance
, when I skipped my school year ago,
instead
 of heaping insults on me
,
Accept space
,
my father asked to travel to school by bus rather than ride motorbike.
This
 action leads me to know that playing truant is not good for me and It
also
 boosts my awareness about learning.
However
, parents and teachers should have a good view about educating good behaviour for the immature.Violence should be stopped and banned because children who are punished may become depressed, shyness, resentful,… In modern society, there is a wide range of ways to bring up one’s children.
Firstly
, parents should calm down to solve every problem with children and give them good advises.They
also
 regulate children’s playing-time or reduce the allowance to avoid wasting too much money.
Secondly
, teachers,
similarly
,
instead
 of exposing to ridicule student’s mistakes or low marks, they should cooperate with parents to educate and manage children. In conclusion, punishment is important to help children how to distinguish right from wrong, but It has to use effectively without violence.
