Some people are of the opinion that children should be rewarded for good behaviour. Others think they should be punished for bad behaviour. Discuss both views and give your personal opinion and reasons.

The debate over a

’s moral education is difficult due to the various viewpoints each party holds. The question of discipline is exceptionally important,

whether to treat good

behaviour

with a neutral attitude or to just focus on correcting incorrect actions. My personal opinion is that any positive actions ought to be immediately recognised by the parent and vice versa for negative conduct.

amily.

Firstly

rewarding a good act immediately signals a positive reaction in the

child

’s brain which should encourage the

child

to want to behave

similarly

in the

future

. Failure to recognise

such

behaviour

leaves the

child

with the same emotional feeling as if they had done nothing.

Therefore

rewarding the

child

regularly for good

behaviour

enforces the action making it more likely to repeat itself in the

future

.

Secondly

punishing the son or daughter is

also

necessary, failure to discipline could have serious consequences in the

future

.

For example

,if a

child

has no clear concept of respect for elders or authority it is quite possible to encounter more serious problems later in life.

This

pattern is prevalent in marginal neighbourhoods throughout the world.

Therefore

it is essential to immediately discipline the

child

whenever witnessing an unruly act so as to enforce the correct

behaviour

from an early age. To conclude both bad and good actions need to be recognised and dealt with immediately to correct or encourage

future

actions. Failure to do either of these could result in a less fortunate life or a youth who rarely performs any good acts for anyone.

Therefore

it is critical that both types of

behaviour

are recognised dealt with

accordingly

for the benefit of the

child

in the

future
