It is widely argued that children at an early age ought to learn the distinctions between right and wrong. Punishment, therefore, could be enforced in terms of broadening the children’s horizons with regards to right and wrong. I totally agree with the fact that both parents and teachers ought to consider punishment worthwhile due to its considerable benefits yield in. In this essay, I will defend my perspective and highlight different types of punishment could be enforced to new generations.
To begin with, I hold the view that those who have been punished not physically at an early age in some circumstances would gain valuable experience and do not repeat their mistakes in the future. This means that these children will pass on their experience and knowledge to next generations. This can prevent from having spoiled children in society. In the last decades ago, parents tend to punish their children more often which leads to mature children.
Although I personally believe that parents and teachers should establish a good rapport with new generations at first, there are several approaches to punish children and teach them the differences between right and wrong. Parents could limit children’s break time while they are watching cartoons and remind them it is because of their mistakes. Children also should not be allowed to spend ample time with their peers on weekends and stay home and do their homework instead.
All things considered, although corporal punishment is not acceptable which can harm self-esteem of children, parents and teachers ought to implement other types of punishment, such as limiting children’s break time, and increasing their homework which could be considered as effective ways of teaching students.
