It is important for children to learn the difference between right or 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?

It is crucial to educate the

children

's moral values and conscience from a young age as they are the future of the country. Some believe

punishment

helps when directing young

children

to the

right

path. I personally believe the

right

punishment

is helpful in disciplining

children

, but harsh

punishment

should be avoided. The

punishment

should deliver the message that every wrongful action has a bad consequence. If the

children

aren’t penalized for their wrongful actions, they may be mistaken that it is not a problem to do bad things.

Therefore

, proper penalization is required to

right

the wrong action.

For example

, if a kid lies to his parents, he should get a

punishment

like taking away his allowance or gaming gadgets for some period. With the

right

punishment

, he will be able to reflect on his action and be hesitant to commit the same mistakes twice.

However

, parents and teachers should carefully determine the extent and nature of the

punishment

that the kids deserve. Harsh

punishment

,

in particular

, can have counter-productive results.

For example

, someone who is caned for stealing will think violence is acceptable since the elders use it as a way of penalizing.

Consequently

,

this

same person can lead to a violent person who uses his physical to get his way.

Similarly

,

children

can sometimes be emotionally affected by violent penalization without really realizing their wrong actions.

To conclude

, the

right

type of

punishment

is necessary to help

children

realize and reflect on their actions, it is important to make sure it doesn’t go extreme.
