It's necessary for children to understand what is correct and incorrect for them at the early stages of their life. I completely agree that punishing children will help them in making them understand the difference. The methods used for explanation shouldn't be harsh
instead
soft counselling sessions could be conducted to improve children's attitude. In
this
essay, I will discuss why it's necessary to punish children when they are wrong and
also
would like to highlight a few types of punishments for their well being.
Firstly
, it's very important for the parents and teachers to monitor child's behaviour and if any corrective measures are required they need to take at a stage when the children are young because if they go astray at

hird standard as I invested much of my time playing outdoor games.
As a result
, my teacher punished me with extra assignments by which I was not able to take time out for sports and
this
helped me in scoring good marks in my examinations.
Therefore
, it's important for parents and teachers to control students behaviour on a regular basis.
Secondly
, when there are attitude issues in children
instead
of using cruel punishments like sending them to boarding schools, hitting or physical punishments to bring them back on track. Elders should actually try to focus on the specific problem and try to find ways to tackle it.
For example
, if a person is not good with English
then
the punishment should be that everyone in that child's family should speak in English with him/her. In another case, if a kid has dirty eating habits
then
parents should stop giving him money so that he is unable to purchase anything. It's clear that simple non-strict measures can help in changing a person's approach to things. To conclude, children of
this
young generation are quite stubborn and strict methods will make things more worst.
Hence
, innovative steps should be taken to counter a situation and immediate action should be taken rather than waiting for things to get normal by itself.
