雅思大作文题目：赞赏还是惩罚儿童
雅思大作文范文：
Rewards can be more effective than punishments when it comes to disciplining pre-adolescentchildren. A punishment might stop a kid's bad behavior for only a while, but a reward can domore to achieve long-lasting results. For mothers and fathers alike, it is advisable to sparethe rod and yet without spoiling the child.
When children behave well, they are often expecting loud praises. On occasions when they dosomething wrong, they probably do not mind being scolded, if done softly. Because the parent-child relationship is characterized by unconditional love, it is better to bind love with gentlenessand not with fear. In a positive sense, a good reward is like a bridge leading to good behavior.On the contrary, a harsh punishment may, more often than not, hurt a child psychologicallyas well as physically. While it is always necessary for parents to teach a child to distinguishbetween right and wrong, the choice of a reward usually can work better than that of apunishment, love being the same--far from spoiling.
At a glance, there seems some logic about punishing children in case of breaking normal rulesof conduct, but actually there is not. According to this viewpoint, discipline as guidance is asymbol of love, so there is no such thing as being too tough with a child. And that is probablywhy some parents still insist on strict discipline in the hope that children could therebydistinguish desirable from undesirable behaviors. Such concept is of courseunderstandable; however, these out-of-date parenting techniques are nothing but short-termand desperate survival strategies trying to deal with the here and now. Using punishment tomanipulate and control a child anytime might get instant obedience, but not for long. At theend of the day, only a timely reward is the ultimate incentive for a child to behave better.
Rewards rather than punishments would be paying off in child discipline as it is doubtfulwhether misbehavior and punishment could cancel each other or reinforce each other. Inmodern society, any thought about the return of the old-fashioned rod to train a child is likelyto be regarded as out of place. Ironically, these days some parents are no longer commandersof the family, and this can be seen in the way they obey their children, with apparent pleasure.
