It is an established position of ethics that children and people of advanced age shall not be subjected to hypnosis. The Professor does not indicate the age of the children who he advises to be hypnotized for restorative treatment of respiratory disorders and other problems. During childhood, the brain cells of children are fast growing and any unnatural interference with the cells in the sensory centres would be possibly leading to formation of conditioned reflexes that would interfere with normal cognitive functions when the child reaches adulthood. This is despite all cares that a qualified medical professional who hypnotizes the child treatment might be taking while inducing hypnosis and while restorative suggestions are made.

Hypnotism is a scientific phenomenon akin to natural sleep. Hypnotism can be profitably used by appropriately trained qualified medical professionals, in the field of therapy but care has necessarily to be taken not to interfere with normal development of nerve cells. Towards this end it is abundantly appropriate not to hypnotize young children whose brain development is still in the process of growth.

yeah. i know you point, that children has not yet well developed of their nervous system compared to the adults. But is it hypnosis just [in case] could be useful for parents who are desperate for their children to have a therapy or treatment? But not merely to abuse it.
