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?

There is no doubt that early age is an appropriate time for a single child to learn to distinguish between right and wrong. I do not think that
punishment
is important to teach
children
this
distinction.
However
,
parents
and teachers are allowed minor
punishment
to educate good behaviour to
children
. Traditionally, some people think that
punishment
may help their child to teach the difference between good or bad things.
Therefore
,
parents
sometimes scold their wellsprings during learning time or sometimes they might be beaten by their
children
.
As a result
, the
children
may not get a proper realisation about good or bad behaviour rather than become more aggressive and ride. A psychologist suggests that beating may have an effect on a child’s brain which cause various mental problems.
For example
,
punishment
may cause convulsive brain disorder to the
children
, resulting in disable to understand the appropriate message which comes from their family and society. So, I strongly disagree that
punishment
is necessary to help
children
to learn well-manner.
On the other hand
,
Children
do not focus on their right track, unless their
parents
force them. For the purpose of proper guidance of the
children
, family and school are allowed some minor penalty
such
as doing household work, cut-off child’s pocket money, doing extra math exercise which makes a child more active and a realisation of good-task. Some scientists say that
such
kind of penalty may have an impact on
children
’s mind to avoid doing something worse rather than scolding. For these reasons,
parents
and teachers should aware of choosing a proper way to teach their
children
that does not harmful for
children
. In conclusion, at an early age,
children
are able to learn the good things or behaviour with love and affection other than
punishment
.
