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 this opinion? What sort of punishment should parents and teachers be allowed to use to teach good behaviour to children?

Telling

children

to distinguish right and wrong at an early age plays a vital role. While some believe punishment is absolutely needed, some don’t. I’ll share all my opinion in the following.

Firstly

, teaching

children

right and wrong earlier is well-accepted because it would be dangerous if

children

keep doing the wrong things with innocent and fun.

For example

,

children

like to put their fingers in any place. But putting in a working fan would come out with

serious results. To enhance the memories of not doing wrong things again, many people would choose to punish

children

. In my opinion, I don’t totally agree with the statement. I believe punishment may help because it’s scary, but there is always another way to teach them. When I was young, I remembered I like to play matches by myself. The light and

fire

are so magical. Once my parents found out, mom yelled at me and was going to punish me.

However

dad

just brought me to the living room and showed me a video with people who playing

fire

.

Dad

discussed it with me and asked how I feel about the video. I still remembered I cried at the end and told my

dad

I will be more careful with

fire

and won’t play it by myself. In conclusion, I would like to try the way my

dad

treated me to every child. A real physical punishment may work but

children

may not really realise they are doing something wrong. If we could try to teach them right and wrong by discussing and sharing thoughts, they would keep them in their mind for a longer time.
