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 behavior to children?
It is vital for
parents
to teach their sons or daughters about right
and wrong things at a very young age. Sometimes punishment
is essential for this
learning. Therefore
, in this
essay, I will discuss why punishment
is important in teaching children
about right
or wrong and what kind of punishment
can be used by parents
or teachers
to bring pleasant behaviour
to children
.
Children
at a very young age especially between 2-4 years old are hard to control because during this
period it is when they start to walk, climb, run, throw, and certainly they can start to talk and demand things. Sometimes, they will throw a tantrum if they do not get what they want and this
is when parents
should teach them that this
is wrong and suggest what is right
. Children
, however
, are not the same. They don't have the same attitude or personality. Some families need punishment
to teach their children
some don’t.
Therefore
, a punishment
such
time-out
is practicable with early-age children
. Time-out
punishment
is a type of punishment
when children
are taken away from where their misbehaviour happened. They will not allow to talk to anybody even their parents
or teachers
until the time is up. After that, it’s time for parents
or teachers
to tell them why they were in time-out
. This
method is widely used by many families and schools worldwide since it seems to be better than shouting or punishing them physically because such
methods, can give children
trauma which could possibly result in long-term consequences when they grow up and their bad behaviour
can be hardwired. With the time-out
method, children
are unlikely to repeat the same mistake because they understand why they are being punished. And children
will know automatically in the future that this
behaviour
is not the right
thing to do.
In conclusion, it is necessary to punish children
in order to teach them what is right
or wrong. But punishment
has to be done in the right
way in order to give them good behaviour
. Thus
, punishment
can result in a negative way if parents
or teachers
use the wrong method.Submitted by puangchompoo4395 on
