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.

, 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

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
