is an important lesson to be learnt by all humans. In recent times, there is a raging debate over how and to what extent our

children

should be penalised to make them able to identify good and bad actions. In my opinion, punishing the wrongdoings of

good behaviour. In case they forget to brush one day, they should not be penalised for their

for example

, by denying their

children

identify acceptable acts. Punishments like exclusion from the basketball team for a week on disrespecting the coach
