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 extend do you agree or disagree with this opinion ? What sort punishments should parents and teachers be allowed to use to teach good behaviour for children?

Learning to be able to distinguish between

right

and wrong is vital for

children

. While some people think that

punishment

is necessary and helps them learn

this

difference, I personally disagree with

this

idea. There is no doubt that learning the distinction between

right

and wrong is vital for

children

and they should practice it from an early age.

However

,

this

does not necessarily imply that they should be punished if they cannot understand

this

difference properly.

Punishment

is not a solution because it does not actually explain why something is wrong and does not always offer the

right

way of doing it either. It just puts the

children

in uncomfortable situations.

For example

, if a kid uses his phone

instead

of studying for school, taking away his phone as a

punishment

does not teach him that playing with it is not a good use of his time. Parents and teachers shot not be allowed to use intense and harsh punishments if they intend to teach good behaviour to

children

. They should

instead

, build up a good relationship with the kids and

then

try to explain reasons why something is

right

or wrong.

However

, if the

children

did something wrong, parents can make them do extra work related to that specific mistake that their

children

have made.

This

will help them remember it better and avoid repeating it.

Furthermore

, all teachers, fathers, and mothers must clearly explain why they think something is

right

. In conclusion,

although

it is important for

children

to learn what is

right

and what is not, I believe

punishment

is not an effective way of teaching them

this

lesson and they should always be provided with explanations.
