问题     Different people hold different views as to whether parents should adopt an instruction or punishment as the principal method to raise their children.
    If punishment is chosen as the main method, in what ways would you recommend that parents carry it out?

选项

答案     Some people believe that parents should resort to instruction and edification as the main ways to raise their children, while many others maintain that the predominant measure parents ought to take is to discipline them, to make sure that they don’t fall into the same pits in the future. Personally I agree with the latter opinion. Moreover, I believe that the best results can be obtained in the following ways.
    In the first place, parents should try to create a family milieu in which the character development of their children is not suppressed and the young feel free to air their own points of view on various matters. The result will be that the young people will grow up to be men and women of honesty, sincerity, professional commitment and expertise.
    In the second place, parents should show due respect for their children’s personal interests and inclinations as regards their future careers. Some parents try to blueprint the entire future development paths of their children when they are convinced that their authority allows no challenge and their discipline will do the young no harm. However, parents should be on guard against any overuse of preaching and discipline lest it provokes nothing but resentment and rebellion.
    All in all, disciplining the young can indeed impress upon their minds the conduct they are expected to adopt in society. Yet, the aim of punishment should not be to make the children regard their parents as dictators and fear them. Parents should do all they can to leave pienty of latitude for the development of their children’s characters, and not overuse the lever of discipline.
