People have different opinions whether
punishment is needed during the discipline that parents or teachers teach their
children about wrong from young age. Some assert that punishment is the most
effective way in terms of the discipline of children. However, I strongly
believe that punishing is not essential factor to teach their children. This is
because there is another way to lead children to realize the good or bad point in
their behaviour and also scolding can make children to be scared about parents’
education.
First of all, one of the methods is that
parents offer some little time to think for children when they made a mistake. It
leads children consider about their behaviours and after the given time,
parents should explain that why the action was wrong. Such the time helps not
only children to regret their mistake but also parents to calm themselves down.
For example, when I was young, my mom always gave me about 5minutes and explained
roughly what was wrong that I did. Therefore, I understood easily and accepted the
mistake. In this regard, I disagree with that parents or teacher need to punish
for their children while they discipline their kids.
Besides, the reason why punishment is not good
at the education is that it could cause children to apologize for their parents
just to avoid a scolding. There is no doubt that all of children are afraid
about getting a scolding as well as physical punishment. According to a survey
conducted by Korean Research Center, over 65 percent of children responded that
they have experienced about the lie. They lied for older people to dissemble to
escape from the scolding situation. In this sense, I believe that punishing can
result in other wrong behaviour by children.
In conclusion, although some people insist that
a little punishment helps children learn about right and wrong, it sometimes has
disadvantages and children can be taught through a short wait of their parents
or teacher. |
