It is absolutely true cruel and harsh attitude towards children is not enough to inculcate values and discipline among children. Inculcating values in most of the children is quite easy. They can be instructed and advised politely to practice values.
Children learn the best by observing their elders. If the elders around them practice values, they are more likely to practice them too. Some spoilt or delinquent children may require harsh treatment to bring them on track. But such type of children are very few.
Kezia in the story The Little Girl did not require any harsh treatment from her father. She was a very well-behaved and reticent girl. She tore his speech that he had prepared for Port Authority; though Kezia did this mistake quite unintentionally, yet the father reprimanded and beat her with ruler. The punishment was not justified as Kezia had torn the speech quite unintentionally. And she had done it to make a gift for her father’s birthday.
Her father could have made her realize her mistake by explaining things to her. She could have easily understood her mistake.
