What are the rules for shock therapy on children?
436511
Are you asking about it as a behavioural therapy, or as seizure therapy?  Do you mean electric shock therapy?  Or some form of controversial alternative therapy, such as holding therapy?  Regardless, this is a very disturbing question, and should be directed to the primary health care professional overseeing the well-being of that child...not a chat room.

babysitting!  It might also be important for them to take a class learning infant/child CPR as well as a class that helps find age appropriate games/play for the children.

A fever is any temperature that is above normal. What a normal temperature is will depend on where it is taken. In the mouth, a normal temperature is 98.6° F; under the arm, normal is 98° F; by rectum, it is 100° F. \n \n What Do I Do? \n \n If you believe your child has a fever: \n \n  Take her temperature. \n \n  Give acetaminophen (Infants' or Children's Tylenol®) if the temperature is over 100° F by mouth, 99° F under arm, 101° F by rectum. See dosing chart below. \n \n  Give acetaminophen (Infants' or Children's Tylenol®) every four hours while there is a fever, but no more than five times in a 24-hour period. \n \n  Keep her cool. Dress a baby in a diaper and shirt; dress a child in lightweight clothing. \n \n  Give her large amounts of fluids—a child with a fever usually likes ice chips, juice, water, soda or tea. \n \n  Sponge or bathe your child with barely warm water for about 20 minutes for a temperature of 103° F by mouth, 102° F under arm or 104° F by rectum. \n \n Should My Child See A Doctor? \n \n Sometimes a child will need medicine to treat an infection. It is important for a doctor to see the child if he: \n \n  Is under 2 months old. \n \n  Is extremely irritable or excessively sleepy. \n \n  Has difficulty breathing or breathes fast. \n \n  Complains of neck pain or holds the neck in an unusual way. \n \n  Has a seizure (convulsion). \n \n  The temperature is not normal after two days of acetaminophen (Infants' or Children's Tylenol®). \n \n  Develops a rash. \n \n  Pulls at his or her ear or complains of ear pain. \n \n  Has not wet a diaper or urinated in 12 hours. \n \n  Lips, tongue and lining of the mouth are dry and dull. \n \n  Complains of a sore throat. \n \n   Amount to Give Dosing Chart\nfor Acetaminophen (Infant's or Children's TYLENOL©  Infant's Concentrated Drops\n80 mg/0.8 ml  Children's Suspension Liquid and Elixir\n160 mg/5 ml  Children's Chewable Tablets\n80 mg each  Junior Strength Chewable Tablets/ Caplets\n160 mg each  \nDose dropper teaspoon tablet tablet/ caplet \nWeight  Age      \n6-11 lbs  0-3 mos  *     \n12-17 lbs  4-11 mos  *  *    \n18-29 lbs  12-23 mos  *  *    \n25-35 lbs  2-3 yrs  2  1  2   \n36-47 lbs  4-5 yrs   1 1/2  3   \n48-59 lbs  6-8 yrs   2 4 2 \n60-71 lbs  9-10 yrs   2 1/2  5  2 1/2  \n72-95 lbs  11 yrs   3  6  3  \n96 lbs +  12 yrs     4  \n * = consult physician \n \n \n \n What Shouldn't I Do? \n \n If your child has a fever: \n \n  Do not use an alcohol bath to sponge or bathe the child. \n \n  Do not use an ice water bath to sponge or bathe the child. \n \n  Do not overdress the child. \n \n  Do not use adult acetaminophen for young children under age 5. \n \n  Do not worry if the child is not eating. Liquids are important. \n \n  Do not give acetaminophen (Infants' or Children's Tylenol®) more than five times in 24 hours. \n \n Could It Be Prevented? \n \n  Do not expose the child to people who are ill. \n \n  There is no way to prevent a fever. However, it is important to give the child acetaminophen (Infants' or Children's Tylenol®) to control the fever.

This varies by jurisdiction.  Mine has no age description.  Use common sense and knowledge of your child's own abilities-including stranger danger.\n\nIf they're of school age, call the school.  They will know.

You CAN spank a child with an open hand across the butt--WITHOUT leaving a mark...I have done this, it is OK. I have 3 kids!! As long as you don't leave marks on your kids, punch, slap, or use ANYTHING other than your hand to disipline, you won't get in trouble.\nYes, children can cry "child abuse". But if they want to live in foster care, so be it. They don't think about that before they pick up the phone. Some kids don't realize how much nicer their home life is compaired to foster care. \nI also believe things should be taken away: phones, TV's, stereo's, things like that. Rules should be followed. Respect should be given. And children shouldn't be acting the way they do just because they didn't get their own way, and I see that a lot!!\nHowever, I have seen a lot of actual child abuse cases and nothing was done. It seems like the cases that should be dealt with aren't, and the ones that shouldn't, are...it's crazy. \nI don't think teenagers should be spanked either. They are too old for that. Grounded, yes. Things taken away, yes. But not spanked. You can get arrested for assaulting a child in public, or if there's physical evidence and witnesses that can say that a child was abused anywhere else, you can be arrested, yes. \nSome parents just don't care and let their kids do what ever they want. I didn't. I had rules and things to follow.If you have parents who care about you, you'll have them. And be glad that you do.

Depends on extent.  \n\nIf it is life-threatening then there is some logic although the trouble will always be in defining the extent.\n\nForce feeding a kid until they are ill = yes\n\nSupersizing their burger = no\n\nNow we just have to define the line between.\n\n\nOnce we have got that sorted what do we do about parents that don't buy the safest car, move to a safer city, haven't provided padding to any sharp bits in the house etc etc.\n\nThere are no easy answers just extremes with an undefined line between them.\n\nEducation rather than punishment is the answer if there is one.

I am not sure which country you are from, but I am a preschool teacher from Australia so I will answer from what I know. I did a quick search and the American Red Cross was the most informative, although they did not have anything specific for education centres.\nI have put below what is found in a normal kit, but there are a few items that are not suitable / needed for a school based on Australian policies and regulations. (see the Astrix's and the notes below):\n\nAbsorbent Compresses (2 5"x9" dressings)\nAdhesive Bandages (25 in assorted sizes)\nAdhesive Cloth Tape (10 yards x 1")\nAntibiotic Ointment Packets (5, approximately 1 gram each)*\nAntiseptic Wipes (5 packets)\nAspirin (2 packets, 81mg each)**\nSpace Blanket\nBreathing Barrier (with a one-way valve)\nInstant Cold Compress***\nNon-Latex Gloves (2 pair, size large)\nHydrocortisone Ointment (2 packets, approximately 1 gram each)****\nScissors\n3" Roller Bandage\n4" Roller Bandage\nSterile Gauze (5, 3" x 3" pads)\nSterile Gauze (5, 4" x 4" pads)\nOral Thermometer (Non-Mercury/Non-Glass)*****\nTriangular Bandages (2)\nTweezers\nFirst Aid Instruction Booklet\n\n* Antibiotic ointment is not permitted to be applied to children by staff unless 1. The ointment is labelled by a pharmacist/doctor with the child's name, the dosage amount and dosage times, and 2. Written permission is provided by parent/guardian.\n** Asprin is not suitable. We stock children's panadol and put a clause in the child's enrollment that the parents sign stating that if their child's temperature rises above 30degreesC and they cannot be contacted.\n*** Instant cold compresses are very important. I would suggest investing in several. You need to either invest in re-usable ones and disposable covers (you can use paper towel or nappy liners) or spend lots of money on single use compresses.\n**** Hydrocortisone Ointment is not allowed to be applied without proper paperwork and permission. See first point.\n***** Oral thermometers are much better for children. Do not buy an instant ear thermometer as they are not acurate in children under 10 years.\n\nSorry this is so long, but I hope it helps a little!

It's obvious all this medication for all these so called "disorders" don't work because 5 year olds are controlling things. Your kid is sick alright, he was born with a sin nature. Ever wonder why babies cry when they don't get their way and are selfish as toddlers?  "Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin my mother conceived me(Psalm 51:5)". "Folly is bound up in the heart of a child, but the rod of discipline will drive it far from him(Proverbs 22:15)". Years ago, when there was no such thing as A.D.D. etc, the parents were in control because they spanked their children, thereby teaching them that choices have consequences. "He who withholds his rod hates his son, but he who loves him disciplines him diligently(Proverbs 13:23)". "Do not hold back discipline from the child, Although you strike him with the rod, he will not die. You shall strike him with the rod and rescue his soul from Sheol(Proverbs 23:13-14)". If you don't whoop him, he will whoop you. One day he will probably be bigger than you and if you don't get him now, what will you do then? He will be an out of control adult who will be dealt with by society, but only much more harshly. So please, for his sake, yours, and the rest of the world's, raise him right!

We have kids at our school with feeding tubes, etc.\n\nOur district requires that the PARENT come in and train nursing staff, teachers, and EA's who will be working with the child, and then sign a waiver of liability.\n\nHowever, I am in NM. You really need to have your district's central special ed office check their lawbooks.

ABC, check airway, check breathing, check pulse (circulation). Child 1 breath 5 compressions, adult 2 breaths, 15 FAST compressions. I know it sounds stupid, but practice on a doll, making sure you count as you go and you are pushing fast and hard enough. If you're gonna jump in and help someone great, just make sure you know what you are doing and have it down to a T, so you can remember it under stress.

Are you actually allowed to discipline children?\n\nHere in the UK if a teacher disciplines a child they run the risk of being reported for child abuse or contravening the childs human rights.  For example - any contact between teacher and child is assault, there was a case in the news a few days ago where the parents had to be called in to stick a plaster on a child.\n\nShort of talking to them or getting used to the noise I guess there isn't much that you can do other than stick some headphones on.

it depends on how far the infection has gone. If it has been afflicting your child for over a few days, you should go to the doctor and they will give you antibiotics to treat it. Not the best course of action, but if it is rooted in the child then it is better left to the doctors. For future reference, bad bacteria can be routed early with lots of vitamin C and regulation of water intake - 8 glasses of water a day and a few extra servings of fruit would be sufficient, along with a supplement. If you seek herbal remedies, Echeanacea is an excellent choice for any illness, all the way from the common cold to an infection like this one. \n\nLong and short - if its new and the child is over 2 years old, get vitamin C supplements (ester-C is wonderful) and give it more water. if it has been in the child for a few days, seek medical treatment at a hospital or your family doctor.

its pretty simple, depending on the shock level you want. use a industrial plastic glove. with a small metal plate on the thumb and middle finger(make sure u don't touch them together) and hook up a circuit with high voltage and low amps. if amps are too high you will hurt someone fatally. circuit kits are available at local stores. this can be very dangerous, be careful. use only small shock devices.
