It’s 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?

There is no doubt that

children

should learn basic moral and core values at the start of their lives. As we all know, there are many ways of teaching

children

such

as positive reinforcement and

Firstly

, I think

punishment

is essential for

children

to learn because there is

punishment

in the adult world as well when grown-ups have done something wrong,

for instance

, there would be fines or even going to prison if you break the law.

Therefore

as hitting them or starving them for a long period of time. To illustrate, time out is a good way of letting

however

, if the child got too heated and continued the unacceptable

behaviour

, I would suggest to take the child away from the group and have some time-out for them to calm down and to understand that there is a consequence of their undesired

behaviour

.

To conclude

although

I think that

punishment
