I strongly advocate that punishment would be a vital way to make instructions for the next generation to differentiate the appropriateness and the wrong activities, but the degree and range of the punishment should be negotiated.
Clearly, the punishment would be useful to help children make rational adjustment about what they would do, since it is initially unpleasant, and would prevent them from making the same mistake again, at the price of sacrificing some of their belongings. Limiting a kid’s time length of playing game console, say, when they make fun of their peers at school, would effectively give them a clear concept about what should not be done during their juvenility. In addition, it can also deliver some common values to penalize the adolescents, like the moral obligations. To punish children in a proper way to give them the same negative feeling a person without some help would have, for example, can improve their positive behaviors like giving others a hand if in need in reality.
Whereas the reasonable options of the reasonable ways and the severity of punishment should be strictly considered prior to implementing it to the youngsters despite its usefulness appearing during the process. Firstly, the excessive punishment would provoke some negative influences on them, such as the physical harms, or even more severe mental disorders, like the mood of revenge or enmity, when compared with the educative significance or responsibilities coming along. Secondly, the children would not acquire a sense of achievement when experiencing too many punishments relating to their daily activities, giving rise to the lack of self-esteem or even the pessimism in their later life.
Thus, to enhance the positive effect and to avoid the detrimental impacts of the punishment, a clear and proper code should be erected primarily before the utilization. Families and schools may keep in mind of what is effective and what would not bring about long-term plagues to children. Corporal punishing is strictly prohibited, and the punishment should always be accompanied by nurturing the sympathy and the right solutions of the situation where the punishment is established. A reasonable reduce of the recreation for the children could be contributive for its efficiency in giving kids consciousness and slight damage to their future life.
