Children are the future of the nation and how they should be raised, is a debatable issue. Some people believe that they should be exposed to physical punishment while others say constant appreciation is required for them. According to me, these arguments need proper scrutinization before forming an opinion.
To begin with, there are many advantages of conferring rewards to children. First of all, appreciation and verbal praise can have a magical impact on the behavior of the children because when they are appreciated for good conduct they come to know about the value of good behavior and try to continue with that. The more they brim with positive comments, the more they are confident. On the other hand, children who are subjected to artificial physical punishment are seen with a lack of self-confidence. A survey conducted on the behavior of children revealed that a child exposed to punitive actions by parents is more aggressive and furious than others of his age. Hence beatings of a child can never be fruitful.
On the contrary, there is no denying the fact that training the notorious and ferocious mind is a hard nut to crack because it is true that the rod is the only logic for fools. Moreover, some children repeat mistakes even after being warned and punished, this type of stubbornness forces parents and guardians to give them beatings. Needless to say, over-pampering may have an adverse effect on children. In this present scenario, parents have one or two children and this pampering distracts them away from their path.
To conclude, children are tender buds, and nurturing them is really a major responsibility. Therefore, a fair judgment on behavior is required for a good upbringing.
