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?

It is often argued that kids should always follow the correct path right from their tender age so that they avoid committing mistakes throughout their lifetime. I believe in

this

argument, as they can perform their duties in a positive attitude even during their lowest times when faced.

Firstly

, It is very essential that parents should maintain a track of communication needed with their pupil and to know their social behaviour in the participating activities.

Also

, punishing them is necessary during their early stages of development, so that they remember the meaning of "what is right?" and "what is wrong?".

For example

, A father punishing his child, when he lied to him during a particular conversation, makes the kid re-think to commit the mistake that he had done earlier.

Secondly

, teachers

also

play a major role in the discipline and conduct of their students, as children spend most of their childhood in schools. It is really important for an educator, that he not only punishes the individual when they commit mistakes but

also

he should be rewarded during his excellence.

This

obviously creates a positive impact in choosing the good over the evil.

For instance

, A teacher gifting his student for the generous act that he performed with his other school mates.

However

, it is to note that individuals should be punished and

also

rewarded at the same time, but they should never be humiliated for their acts while sanctioning them. Humiliation creates a negative impact on children and they could get hurt emotionally.
