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 is opinion. What sort of punishment should parents and teachers be allowed to use to teach good behaviours to children?

Some people believe that it is essential for
children
 to recognize rightness and wrongness, and punishments are indispensable. In my opinion, good morals are crucial for
children
, whereas penalties are not always inevitable.  
Children
 have the capability of choosing the right road only when they know what is right. A child's education has never been about learning knowledge and skills only. They should be educated to be a good member of society, while the premise of being a good resident is to choose the white from the black. If
children
 can not realize what is beneficial for himself, family and society when he is still young, more efforts would be devoted after he grows up.  
Punishment
 only should be taken in some extreme cases, and it should not be normality. Many Asian
parents
 have been used to educating their
children
 by physical
punishment
 and never explaining the reason to their
children
.
For instance
, corporal punishments are not uncommon in my hometown, whereas youngers have not learned how to be well-behaved under
this
 conventional educational model.
However
, most polite and competent
children
 claim that they were not punished during their childhood.
Therefore
 it is evident that
punishment
 is not essential for most families and schools.    There are various measures
parents
 and teachers could take to educate their
children
 and students.
First
, precautions are preliminary. It means that we need to make
children
 know the distinction between right and wrong before they make a mistake.
Secondly
,
parents
 and teachers must be sure that
children
 have realized the mistake they made. If they do not understand the reason that makes their
parents
 get mad,
punishment
 would be meaningless. The
third
 option is to experience sequences by themselves, and
then
 they would not do it again.   In conclusion, it is important for
children
 to learn to be good members of family, campus and society. At the same time, the
punishment
 could not be a perfect way to achieve
this
.
