Carmen England from Peru Punishing children is a controversial topic Everybody has different opinions about how to act to correct a child's behavior. Parents, doctors, specialists such as psychologists, and even religions have disagreements about whether it is good for a child's education to punish him or her. The word punish means different things to different people. Punishment can be physical or emotional. Physical punishment is when the parent hits, slaps or spanks the child. On the other hand, emotional punishment is when the parent, in order to educate the child, doesn't let him watch TV, go to play with his friends, or do things like that. The parent doesn't teach him, but still he punishes the child. Although many surveys and studies have been made about what the correct way is to raise a child, nobody has the answer or the truth. I think it will be very difficult to find the answer or get people to agree. I think the parent should love their child and give him the best education, but at the same time, they should punish the child if he deserves it. I think if you love your child, you should be rational when you apply the punishment. It should be reasonable but strict. The
parent's goal is to have in the future a good man
or woman in society, so sometimes you should do
what is necessary to get your child to behave
