Best Answer

Children with Down syndrome should be disciplined like any other children. Time out or talking away privileges might be the best option if you're not comfortable with spanking your child as he or she might not understand that they have done something wrong.

Do you think it should be forbidden for someone with Down syndrome to become a parent?

WikiAnswers contributors share their opinions;There is no way a person with Down syndrome could take care of anybody else, let alone themselves.Some people with Down syndrome marry. With rare exceptions, men with Down syndrome cannot father a child. In any pregnancy, a woman with Down syndrome has a 50-50 chance of conceiving a child with Down syndrome, but many affected fetuses are miscarried. Knowing that says that nature is taking care of itself. If two people who love each other have a chance at having a healthy baby, then the best of luck to them. After all, "normal people" have babies with down syndrome and they are loved.And again I will say that males with Down syndrome are almost all sterile (only 1 case documented). And if a female with Down syndrome becomes pregnant with a viable fetus, the father obviously does not have Down syndrome.Some people with Down syndrome are able to function and be a lot more independent than others. As to whether it should be forbidden, my answer is this: "HELL, NO!" Didn't you ever watch "Life Goes On"? If so, do you remember Corky?

Can you have the appearance of Down syndrome but not actually have the syndrome?

Who really cares if a child looks normal or not!? God created us all the same, and we shouldn't treat each other differently just because we have a little disability! Calling a disabled child "dumb" or a "retard" is not going to change their life and is only going to hurt their feelings, so why bother?! But the truth is, a child with Down Syndrome is not going to look regular without some major surgery. They will need facial reconstruction, though. But even if you choose to have plastic surgery performed on your child with Down Syndrome or not, just remember to love and take care of him or her. It's the best gift you can give your child, and with the right therapy and attention, your child (and you!) can learn to live a normal, neurotypical life.

Is there any type of surgery before giving birth that is effective in treating Down syndrome?

No, there isn't, because Down syndrome is one of the many abnormal results of genes missing little parts. Most of these are really not noticable as birth defects because the human body has such wonderful adaptability and flexibility to these little mistakes in genetics. The error which results in Down syndrom are is too great to be hidden, however. To avoid Down syndrome and many of the other genetic mistakes, a woman would best be advised to have children early in life. The chances of having a Down syndrome child increase dramatically as a potential mom grows out of her 20s and into the 30s and 40s. You could try Googling for - Down syndrome recent - and see if any new prospects have been developed.
