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?

Knowing the difference between good and bad is paramount in a

Firstly

, it creates an awareness when the action of the

behaviour is not acceptable.

Secondly

, it helps the

To sum up

, even though discipline is paramount, I believe that milder forms of punishment like timeouts and chores are more beneficial in helping the kid distinguish between right and wrong
