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?

The early phases of a person's life are crucial and whatever he\she learns at

this

age helps create their personality and stays till death. So, it is absolutely important for these

children

to learn the distinction between good and bad and right and wrong.

Punishment

is one

such

means that help us, the adults, to mould these

children

and instils the sense of discipline among them.

Therefore

, I completely agree with the notion that

punishment

is necessary to help them learn

this

important distinction.

However

, punishing

children

does have its disadvantages and can disrupt the

child

's path of life.

Punishment

is crucial as it instils fear among the

children

. It makes them understand that doing or saying those things can lead to

punishment

and

thus

, helps them distinguish between right and wrong.

For instance

, a newborn

child

always tries to put their fingers in his\her mouth, but we, adults, know that

this

is wrong and shouldn't be done. We

then

light slap at that

child

's hand and tell them not to do, they sense

this

and they avoid doing so.

However

, if we keep punishing them for every wrong they do, they will turn rigid against

such

punishments.

Hence

, it is absolutely important to keep our actions in check while punishing them. The parents and the teachers are very crucial in developing the personality of a

child

. The way they treat their kid or student becomes a part of their personality.

Thus

, while punishing them, they need to be extra careful of their actions and should be motivating and not make them feel low whenever they do wrong.

Punishment

should be verbal that makes them emotional and makes them understand the wrong they did and not at all bully or embarrass them. It shouldn't be physical at all, as it can be vulnerable to a minor and he\she may get seriously injured. To conclude, I would like to repeat my thoughts on the notion that

punishment

is crucial in making the kid understand the distinction between right and wrong.

Nevertheless

, it is absolutely necessary that the means of

punishment

should be kept in check,

otherwise

it can disrupt the life of path for these

children

and will fail the very motive of us.
