Yi Xie from China In China, there is a saying: "If you don't punish your kids when they do something bad, they won't be good people in the future." Sometimes kids deserve punishment so that they can learn this lesson. When I was a kid, my family taught me very well. They told me the reasons first; they told me what is right and what is wrong. But when I did something really bad, my family wanted me to remember not to do it again, so they would use a stick to punish me. It hurt a lot, but I knew that it was very serious, and I remembered not to do it again. But
when you are really angry and punish a child, you
need to control yourself. Even though the child did
something bad, he/she is still a kid. Teaching
children right from wrong is more important and
more useful than punishing them.
