There is a statement implies the awareness of children regrading their actions and behavior at an early age and the punishment as a guideline which leads them to be knowledgeable about the consequences of their affairs. I completely agree with it and i will declare my reasons in the forthcoming paragraphs.
first and foremost, the life is full of challenge. for maintaining and preserving life it is compulsory to be educated for the basic necessary rules. for instance, imagine a kid wants to touch a hot stove; in this case, the kid would definitely receive punishment and would never do the action again. It is just considered as a minor lesson that he/she learn at early years of livelihood. In this situation, the child has learned from trail and error.
Sometimes it is not the way as we mentioned. As children are expert spectators, they will learn evil and goodness particularly at an early ages.
If they learn bad things from their guardians or parents they would definitely try to imitate at least for once. in this case, teachers and parents are those who need to intervene and act as a punisher to halt children. Although I am not the one who agree with aggressive treatment like corporal punishment; instead, i try to adopt alternative and more constructive methods. for instance, I try to do it in my own way and ask him/her to do the same. I think it is considered as a supervision to some extent. in addition, teaching and educating children in a way which is delightful and live their sense of companionship like playing with them or buying them a book that is in their interest.
In conclusion, punishment is not a thing as we mostly think of as a corporal punishment. being flexible with children and having interaction partnership will enhance their lifestyle.
