Do you think children behave better when they are physically punished or rewarded.

There is a statement, which suggests, that when
children
are physically punished, their behaviour improves. There are many supporters of
this
opinion, whereas the amount of opponents is
also
large. While some may disagree, I am of the opinion that
this
demeanour might lead to serious consequences,
therefore
I cannot agree with it.
First
, child
abuse
, nowadays, is a major concern that requires awareness from the public. There are many supporters, who claim that their kids learn better from their mistakes if they punish them physically. They claim that if their
children
don’t behave properly, the only way out of
this
includes

who are physically abused by their parents is tremendous, and the number is increasing rapidly. The problem with
this
is that not everyone realizes that what they are doing is, in fact,

and they continue doing it over and over again.

attitude might be helpful in the long run when
children
grow up and their attitude towards life changes, they are able to cope with the consequences of their errors, whereas

since they are afraid they might get punished because of it. They cope with negative outcomes poorly and sometimes are unable to let it go and might beat themselves over it for a long time. In conclusion, there are both supporters and opponents of
