Just wondering what everyone's thoughts are on this controversial topic.
I'm not talking children with Cerebral Palsy, Down's Syndrome, or ADD, ADHD. I'm talking children who suffer from the lifelong effects of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome or Shaken Baby Syndrome, including irreversible brain damage and serious mental retardation. In some cases brain damage is so severe, the child would never be able to learn right from wrong, according to a doctor.
If a doctor or another pediatric professional told you not to even spank a child of this nature on the buttocks, stating it would get no results, would you take the advice? Or would you just decide to spank regardless. If you choose not to spank, what special discipline methods would you use? And how would outsiders (family, peers, caregivers, etc) respond to your decision. I've been to websites on this matter and couldn't find anything on this matter.
Additional information will be available upon request in answers. Thanks.
