You know NOTHING. I lived with "He just needs to be spanked." from the time my son was a year old. I guess I could spank him all the time, and have NO relationship with him, but that still wouldn't help. My parents even admit this. He has a PROBLEM, and everything we have tried up until medication was to no avail. My son went from having to be forced to read, to a child who got nearly straight As and was the top reader in his school that year. The teachers thought he was a different child.
Some of you are so ignorant I can hardly stand it. My son has two parents, rarely has sweets or caffeine, has been disciplined, and so on. We tried diet, occupational therapy, discipline plans......
You have no idea what kind of hell a child with a chemical balance can put a family through. Too bad. Maybe you would be a little kinder.
The comments on this thread are truly sickening.
Now you've done it--you've said the nasty "s-word"!
Someone's bound to get a little antsy over that. :o)
Your ignorance needs to be spanked out of you.
