It is important for children to learn the difference between right and wrong at an early age. Punishments' 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 behavior to children?

Learning to distinguish right from wrong at an early age is of great importance for

children

. To help them learn the difference, punishment is necessary. I completely agree with

this

point of view because getting punished is equivalent to facing the

consequences

of one’s bad

behavior

However

, only mild

should be allowed. Punishment shows

for example

them.

As a result

, they may very likely stop bullying others;

otherwise

, they will deal with the

again.

However

, only mild

should be used to discipline

children

. At a young age,

children

can be very rebellious. So, if parents scold or spank them for their

Instead

and at the same time educate them about why they receive the

children

should be punished if they misbehave because
