Do children behave better when they are physically punished or rewarded?
TASK RESPONSE.
Raising children is a great concern and a heated debatable issue. Some people believe that they should be exposed to the physical punishment while others say constant appreciation is imperative. I do partake proper discussion of the two arguments is eminent to make a better conclusion.
First off, appreciation and verbal praise can have a magical impact on the behavior of children because when they are appreciated for good conduct it enhances their good behavior and try to continue doing and being good. The more they are showered with positive comments, the more they become confident. That said, subjection to physical punishment dwindles their self-confidence. Such children exposed to punitive punishments are more likely to become aggressive and furious than their peers. A child tuned to beating develops personal hatred and at times alienates from the society.
Imperatively, training to the notorious and ferocious mind is a hard nut to crack because such children are naturally stubborn and physical punishment can help deter wrong doing because it instills fear in them. 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. They become soft in life and always wish for positive appraisal even when they are in wrong.
On the whole, children are the tender buds and nurturing them is really a major responsibility. Therefore, a fair judgment on behavior is required for good upbringing and relevant punishment.
Some children can be so stubborn that physical punishment would be the best to deter them from bad behaviour. In any case, it's hard to reward a child who has done wrong. Given the magnitude of a child's behaviour and how they perceive punishment or reward, it's prudent that a child is sometimes punished to instill fear of doing wrong again.
Displining children to become better people is never an easy task among parents and guardians. As many believe rewards are good, many believe physical punishment is better. I personally believe it depends on a child's character.
