How to educate children is a chronic problem that bothers scholars, teachers and parents. Some people claim that rewarding can help children to cultivate a good habit while others argue that punishing is a more effective way. From my perspective, both of the two approaches have their merits and demerits.
On the(no "the") one hand, the benefits of rewarding can not be denied(ignored?). Obviously, rewarding could stimulate the activity of children to behave in a honest and integrate way. Children, by nature, have a sense of competition. They are earge(拼写错误了,eager, 本来想用long for的) to win any price in order to standing out of their peers. Through a proper price and some deliberate guidence, they can be taught to act in a good manner. However, if such method applies for a long item(term?), it would be not (not be) conducive to children's mental development. They would be unwilling to participate in activities without paid-back.
On the other hand, punishing for misbehavior has its own advantages and disadvantages.(这句话记不起来了,大概是这么写的) . Through a mechnaism of punishment, children can learn to distinguish a good manner and a bad manner, which definitely helps to reduce juvenile delinquency. Nevertheless, it would be detrimental to the physical and psychological development of children if punishment is the sole approach.(这句话也有点模糊了,大概是这么写的) Punishing all the time without any appreciation could make children be bully(bullied) and aggressive, and sometimes even go astray.
Given the reasons listed above, I would conclude that neither of the two methodologies are flawless. What we should do is to strike a wise balance between rewarding and punishing and take the advantages of the two approaches to guide children to grow up healthly.
