The way you raise a child can be very impactful for her/his future. A parents and a teacher's job is not to limit or decide for the child, but for them to guide him/her- I will further analyse and describe how both the carrot and the stick are the wrong methods of which a child can grow in.
Let's begin with the inceptions of the wrong-doing of the stick. Violence is never the answer, and the stick contradicts this statement and implies that it is. Children are at a sensitive growing stage, and implanting punishments not only would not get the message desired across, but would also make them fear it and therefore fear learning. It forbids mistakes, which not only is a lost opprtunity for learning, but also strives child to achieve perfection - which shouldn't be the transmitted message.Also, they will quickly accept the lesson that is trying to be taught but will not actually accept or aprove of it, only want to evade the pain that raises from it.

Children don't have their own initative to carry out his opinions or ideas, because he/she will only look forward to the stick. The stick impends and slowly establishes it's roots in the child's mind, setting it'd course towards being depedents on praise and approval. As a parent/teacher, the cultivated
