It is important for children to learn the difference between right and wrong at 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 baheviour to children?
Some people argue that it will be worthwhile for youngsters to know distinct between good and bad work in their childhood and they suggest that punishment needs to be imposed to guide students in the right direction. I disagree with this phenomenon that harsher punishments like physical hurts would not address the issue well and bearable punishments like not talking with them for a while and disallowing them to play can be effective.

Some people think that a sense of competition in children should be encouraged. Others believe that children who are taught to cooperate rather than compete become more useful adults. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
It is argued that children should be motivated to be competitive, while others feel that teaching them to be cooperative will be of more value as they enter adulthood. I believe that while competition can help children be successful, cooperation is more important because it teaches them to work within a team, a crucial adult skill.
