The ABC Homeopathy Forum

Very grumpy toddler-Please help!

I’m hoping to figure out a homeopathic remedy to mellow my son out (hopefully a constitutional remedy). My son is almost 2 and half years old. He is extremely difficult to deal with a good deal of the time. The littlest things set him off. I can’t take him to restaurants because he is so disruptive. He screams if I put him in a high chair. He escapes if I put him into a booster seat. If I let him loose to explore (which is what he wants), he is into everything and quite noisy so we have to leave. If I try to take him into a store it typically turns into an ordeal. The only places I can take him without a huge amount of trouble are the playground or a very child-centered place. He is a real controller. He is quite bossy. He likes to try to order me around (without results). Teaching him manners has been a challenge. If I give him two choices inevitably neither choice will be to his liking. He ends up in time out very frequently although it doesn’t seem to do much good. He is constantly changing his mind about what he wants. I’m very consistent with him but his behavior is quite hard to deal with. When he isn’t being grumpy, he is affectionate, sweet and fun. He is very sociable and enjoys being around people.
He is not shy. He is “all boy” loves his toy cars and loves to wrestle with dad. He is fascinated with the alphabet and already knows all the names and sounds the letters make. His speech is advanced for his age. He speaks in full sentences much of the time. He hates naps and going to bed at night. Transitions are always difficult for him. Meals are the most difficult times of the day. He often ends up getting time outs for screaming and throwing food. He only eats a few foods. He hates meat. He only eats two vegetables. He likes carbs. The only foods he will eat are cucumbers, peas, cereal, bread, sometimes pasta, cashews, peanut butter, most fruit, fruit juice, sometimes yogurt, occasionally a little cheese. Pancakes, oatmeal and milk are his favorites. Plus he loves anything sweet (although he doesn’t get much sugary stuff).Those are the only things he will eat. He’s very stubborn so if I give him food he doesn’t like, he’d sooner starve than eat it. At the moment he has a cold and his irritability is worse than it’s ever been. I know my son is at that age of the “terrible twos” and all that but he is extreme. My friend’s kids who are the same age are so much more easy going. My daughter who is almost 10 was never like this. He’s of average height and weight with a light complexion, hair and blue eyes. Any ideas for a remedy that might help him?!?

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Everything you have described about your son is exactly what is going on in our home. I even have my son seeing a behavior specialist, and still not much improvement. I am tempted to take him to a homeopath, but can't really afford the $150 per hour price tag, especially when multiple sessions are likely to be needed.

Have you made any resolve to the situation since you last posted?

Thanks for the offer to assess my son, it would be great if you could asses him online.

Just so you have some background information, my son is 21 months old, had a normal birth, and has not had any severe illnesses. He lives at home with myself and my husband, and his ten-year-old brother. I work full time an hour from home, and my husband works all week (including the weekends). He is home at nights and helps get the kids ready in the morning. We are out of the house by 7 am each morning (excluding weekends), and get home around 6 pm. He goes to daycare from 7:15 to 4:30, and then to my mother-in-law¡¦s house until I pick him up at 5:45. Some nights my husband picks him up when I bring my older son to soccer or swim practice. On the weekends we typically stay home unless my older son has a soccer game or swim meet, or we need to go to the grocery store (which is typically a challenge with the toddler). My husband and I get along and do not fight, and there isn¡¦t yelling in the house unless we have to speak sternly to my older son. For the most part, I try to feed everyone healthy, wholesome foods, but the kids do eat ¡§garbage¡¨ food at times (fast food, chips, fruit snacks, hot dogs).

ADHD runs in the family, and my older son has been diagnosed with it. (Overall my older son is well behaved, and while he did (as a toddler) share similar traits with his younger brother, he was mostly obedient and agreeable. He was always a great eater, and would eat pretty much everything. At ten, he is very smart, very disorganized, and very friendly, but offends other easily.)

While I see similarities between the two children and know that they are all different, I can¡¦t seem to be able to control my younger son. I feel that there is something else going on, but I can¡¦t quite figure it out, or how to solve the problem. He has been seeing a specialist for the past six months to help with his communication. The specialist only works on one problem at a time. When the specialist first started seeing him, we decided that it would be best to have her work on him communication skills in hopes that it would help with the anger and tantrums. The specialist would like to continue her work with him until she feels that his verbal communication is where it should be. He can actually say things like ¡§want some milk¡¨ or ¡§Daddy go outside,¡¨ and can say most basic words. He also knows every letter of the alphabet and their sounds. He can also count to ten.

He went through a stage of ¡§stranger danger¡¨ from 7 months to 14 months, but now he has gone to the other extreme, and has no fear of things that he should (straying from us in the yard or a public place or climbing things dangerously). He wants to be near you most of the time and picked up occasionally, but after he wants to be picked up he squirms and wants to be put down immediately. He is not really a cuddly, affectionate kid, but sometimes he likes to hug my husband. At night, we read in the rocking chair and rather than cuddle on my lap, he would prefer to be in his crib. He doesn¡¦t fuss much when I put him to bed, although lately he hasn¡¦t been falling asleep for a good hour or so. He generally sleeps through the night, but occasionally fusses until he finds his pacifier. He does make eye contact with you and comprehend directions, such as ¡§put the toy away,¡¨ ¡§close the door,¡¨ ¡§get a book.¡¨

MENTAL STATE OF THE CHILD (IMPORTANT)

1. When the physical complaint is active, what is his/her emotional state like? What does he/she do?
I¡¦m not sure what this question is asking.


2. Does he/she describe any unusual sensation or pain in the body, especially when they are complaining of something?
A. Appearance: He doesn¡¦t verbally communicate his displeasure for things or discomfort, but his appearance is crying and a tantrum. Sometimes it starts with an intentional scream (probably to communicate his is upset), then it turns to a tantrum. When he was younger, it just went into a straight tantrum. Typically, he cries or has a tantrum to communicate that he doesn¡¦t like something or if something is bothering him. He could be displeased by a texture or taste, or he is being stubborn because he doesn¡¦t want to do something. It is difficult to tell at times what the reason is for. He typically cries and fights me when I have to change and dress him (not because of a painful diaper rash). In this instance, it could be because he doesn¡¦t want to be laid down (to be changed), or contained. Sometimes when he is angry or upset he will bite things, such as the arm of a chair or a table. He may hit or swat at others, or scream at them (voice only, no words).
B. Sensation or pain: Not sure because of the lack of verbal communication.
C. Situations/events/triggers for making it worse: One time he was eating dinner and my father put a piece of albacore tuna on his tray. The smell alone must have bothered him because he refused to eat anything afterwards, even though he hadn¡¦t eaten the tuna. When the babysitter first tried to get him to paint, he didn¡¦t like the feel of the brush. When he did finger painting, he didn¡¦t like the feel of the paint on his hands. He also doesn¡¦t like it when his hands get messy when he eats, but that is only when he doesn¡¦t notice that his hands are messy.
D. Situations/events/triggers for making it better: I typically have to distract him by singing a song.
E. Event that seemed to start the complaint: It could be a smell or the appearance of a food that displeases him. Or quite possibly in his mind he wants a cookie and since I didn¡¦t give him a cookie (I gave him his dinner, which is what he always gets first), he has a tantrum. (The cookies are organic fig newtons.)
F. Other sensory features ¡V smell, sound, taste, tactile etc: He is bothered by the taste and texture of meats and fish and primarily wants bland foods (carrots, peas, yogurt, cashews, cheese, fruit, rice, milk, broccoli, and eggs), but then he will go to the extreme and eat pickles, kielbasa, or fresh salsa (which is mildly spicy). He also likes tomatoes a lot, but I don¡¦t consider them as a bland food because they are acidic.


3. What fears does he/she have? How does she/he react?
A. Appearance: He typically looks frightened and starts crying. He doesn¡¦t want to be consoled when he is upset.
B. Sensation or pain: Not sure.
C. Situations/events/triggers for making it worse: When he was younger he had ¡§stranger danger¡¨ and was afraid of everyone he didn¡¦t see often, and new people. He wasn¡¦t afraid at the grocery store though, because people remained far enough away.
D. Situations/events/triggers for making it better: Typically he will just cry it out, or I would distract him. He really isn¡¦t afraid of much these days, and cries because he wants something that he can¡¦t have or do (ie: because he wants to stay outside but it is time to go inside.)
E. Event that seemed to start the complaint: In the past it was a stranger that started the fear, but now he doesn¡¦t seem to have any fears.
F. Other sensory features ¡V smell, sound, taste, tactile etc: He doesn¡¦t have sensory reactions to fear.


4. Was there any incident in the past that had a great impact? What happened at the time? Is there any ongoing reaction to this event? How does he/she talk about it?
Nothing traumatic happened to him. He has been this temperamental and irritable since he was an infant. He would arch his back and throw tantrums since he was an infant. I nursed him and then he had dairy formula, but this didn¡¦t seem to bother him.


5. Is there any story (book, fairytale, cartoon, movie etc) that seems to really resonate with her/him? What does he/she say about it?
A. Appearance: He is obsessed with anything on wheels, and has been since 11 months. He loves books about trucks or trains, and loves playing with toy cars and trucks. When we are in the car, he pays attention to the trucks that we come across. (My husband has a dump truck, excavator, bull dozer, and backhoe, and has given him a ride in them.)
B. Sensation or pain: He likes to rolls the cars across the floor or windowsill.
C. Situations/events/triggers for making it worse: I don¡¦t think the obsession is a problem.
D. Situations/events/triggers for making it better: N/A
E. Event that seemed to start the complaint: N/A
F. Other sensory features ¡V smell, sound, taste, tactile etc: He likes to rolls the cars across the floor or windowsill.


6. What kind of fantasies does she/he describe to you? How does this translate down into play, games, toys? Does he/she tend to draw particular things over and over? If so what are they? If you point to these images, what does she/he say about them?
He loves anything with wheels (playing with or looking at), likes to count things, and likes to point out the letters (sometimes). I don¡¦t know if he has fantasies, but if he does, I would imagine that they would be about trucks. ƒº


7. Does he/she describe any dreams or nightmares to you, and what are they? How does she/he react on waking from them?
He hasn¡¦t really had any nightmares that I know of. He has woken up crying and seemed to have a night terror once, but since he doesn¡¦t really communicate verbally, I don¡¦t know what it was about.

8. How is he/she when interacting with other children? What about sports or games? How about obeying rules or social conventions?
A. Appearance: He isn¡¦t too eager to play with other kids and often stands back from where they are playing. He will interact a bit with my 23-month-old niece when they meet up about once a month, but would prefer to play by himself. He also doesn¡¦t like to share.
B. Sensation or pain: He doesn¡¦t like to be touched, hugged, or pulled at by other kids.
C. Situations/events/triggers for making it worse: When a kid touches him or won¡¦t leave him alone.
D. Situations/events/triggers for making it better: When a kid plays near him but not too close.
E. Event that seemed to start the complaint: When a kid touches him, pulls on him, or gets too close to him.
F. Other sensory features ¡V smell, sound, taste, tactile etc: When he gets bothered by others he will lash out and hit them, scream at them, or push them. The other day he bit a one-year-old girl on the hand at daycare because she was ¡§in his space.¡¨


9. How is she/he when interacting with older people? Is there any difference between family or friends and strangers in terms of reactions and behavior?
A. Appearance: He seems to get along better with older people than other children, but still doesn¡¦t like to be touched much (when he is busy playing). He does swat at adults when he is upset and screams.
B. Sensation or pain: He doesn¡¦t like to be cuddled or held.
C. Situations/events/triggers for making it worse: When he isn¡¦t in control of a situation, someone makes him do something he doesn¡¦t want to do, or when someone takes him away from something he was playing with.
D. Situations/events/triggers for making it better: Distraction.
E. Event that seemed to start the complaint: Adult taking control of what he was doing.
F. Other sensory features ¡V smell, sound, taste, tactile etc: Not sure how this relates.


10. What kind of activities does he/she enjoy doing? Which of these do she/he spend the most time at?
A. Appearance: He is happy watching TV (Sesame Street, Leap Frog videos, Baby Einstein), playing with his trucks and cars, and playing outside.
B. Sensation or pain: He seems happy and content, unless he gets frustrated with something and throws it or screams.
C. Situations/events/triggers for making it worse: When he gets frustrated by something that he can¡¦t do. When I try to help him, he gets mad that I am ¡§taking it away¡¨ by trying to help.
D. Situations/events/triggers for making it better: When I distract him with something else.
E. Event that seemed to start the complaint: Frustration with a toy.
F. Other sensory features ¡V smell, sound, taste, tactile etc: Not sure how this relates.


11. What qualities seem to make your child different from other children?
A. Appearance: Stubbornness and irritability. He isn¡¦t cuddly or affectionate. We can¡¦t take him anywhere because he is so difficult and throws tantrums. Often, things that he typically likes one day, he doesn¡¦t like the next. This makes meal time difficult and a lot of work. He is difficult to change, difficult to get into his high chair, difficult to get dressed, difficult to get out the door, difficult to get in the house.
B. Sensation or pain: He doesn¡¦t like to get his hands dirty. He doesn¡¦t like to eat most foods.
C. Situations/events/triggers for making it worse: Being controlled.
D. Situations/events/triggers for making it better: Being distracted.
E. Event that seemed to start the complaint: Being controlled or someone not having the insight to get him what he wanted before he wanted it.
F. Other sensory features ¡V smell, sound, taste, tactile etc


12. How does your child cope with school, school work, study, deadlines, speaking in front of others, following directions etc?
A. Appearance: He occasionally will follow directions for putting away a book, cleaning up blocks (when the song is involved), brushing his teeth (although he won¡¦t let you do it properly for him), going up the stairs, closing the door. When he throws a toy (in a fresh way) and I ask him to pick it up, he refuses to do it. He likes the 3 year old girl at daycare but not the 1 year old girl. He likes going to daycare and doesn¡¦t cry when I drop him off.
B. Sensation or pain: Not sure.
C. Situations/events/triggers for making it worse: If he isn¡¦t in the mood to be agreeable, or if in his mind it isn¡¦t fun.
D. Situations/events/triggers for making it better: when I try to make things a game and fun.
E. Event that seemed to start the complaint: His perspective on the task or direction.
F. Other sensory features ¡V smell, sound, taste, tactile etc


13. What kind of questions does he/she tend to ask you or other adults?
He doesn¡¦t ask questions, but will call out for us.


14. What makes her/him laugh? What makes him/her cry?
A. Appearance: He is happy when you are silly with him and when he sees a truck, train, or tractor. He is unhappy when he can¡¦t communicate what he wants, when you make him do something he doesn¡¦t want to do, when you get him dressed, when you bring him inside, when you put him in his high chair, when he doesn¡¦t like to food on his tray, when he can¡¦t figure something out for himself, when you try to help him, when you try to make him hold your hand, when his hands are messy.
B. Sensation or pain: See above.
C. Situations/events/triggers for making it worse: See above.
D. Situations/events/triggers for making it better: Distractions or making him think that he is in control.
E. Event that seemed to start the complaint: His not being in control or unable to communicate his wants/needs.
F. Other sensory features ¡V smell, sound, taste, tactile etc: Sensory issues with the touch of things or the texture of foods.


15. What makes him/her angry or irritable?
A. Appearance: He is displeased with most things, but if I had to boil it down to a few major things, it would be things that bothered him (sensory), not being in control, not being able to communicate (although he can say many basic words), and frustration with not being able to accomplish something himself.
B. Sensation or pain: Some shoes bother his feet, although he is typically fine with socks. Clothes seem to be ok, but if they do bother him I wouldn¡¦t know. He hates having the back of his neck and head touched, and is bothered by clothes and coats with hoods.
C. Situations/events/triggers for making it worse: See above.
D. Situations/events/triggers for making it better: Distractions or giving in to what he wants (not that it is a good thing to do).
E. Event that seemed to start the complaint: See above.
F. Other sensory features ¡V smell, sound, taste, tactile etc: See above.


16. What does your child do when alone?
A. Appearance: He seems content playing alone most of the time. He will busy himself with toys or something that sparks his interest. He mostly plays with cars. When he is sick or tired, he will want to hang by my feet.
B. Sensation or pain: He seems fine when he is alone.
C. Situations/events/triggers for making it worse: When he gets frustrated and needs help, or when he isn¡¦t feeling well or is tired, he wants to be near an adult.
D. Situations/events/triggers for making it better: Try to identify his needs.
E. Event that seemed to start the complaint
F. Other sensory features ¡V smell, sound, taste, tactile etc


17. Is there a particular person or type of person that he/she reacts to, and what kind of reaction?
A. Appearance: He seems to like my husband best, but I think that is because he doesn¡¦t see him as often. My husband is big (6¡¦1¡¨) and strong, so I think that my son feels secure and comfortable in his arms. He also associates my husband with the trucks, as my husband takes him for a ride. He seems to like men much better, and favors my father over my mother. (My mother is nice and great with kids. She is a teacher.)
B. Sensation or pain: not sure
C. Situations/events/triggers for making it worse: He gets upset when people want to pick him up or hug him and he doesn¡¦t want to me touched.
D. Situations/events/triggers for making it better: When people let him come to them.
E. Event that seemed to start the complaint
F. Other sensory features ¡V smell, sound, taste, tactile etc



GENERAL STATE OF YOUR CHILD

1. What position does he/she sleep in?
He moves around. Sometimes he sleeps on his stomach with his head to the side. Other times he sleeps on his back with his arms up and his head to the side. He also sleeps on his side.

2. Is there any position he/she seems unable to sleep in?
I don¡¦t think so.

3. Any unusual behavior during sleep?
Not really. He rolls around and changes the direction of where his head is.

4. Any problems with sleep?
He has difficulty falling asleep at nap time, and sometimes at night. At night, he doesn¡¦t get upset when he is in his crib. He generally sleeps through the night, but occasionally wakes to find his pacifier (which he would use most of the day if I had let him take it out of his bed, which I don¡¦t unless he is sick). He also has a lovey (velour blanket square with satin trim and dog head), and is very particular about which type he likes. We have other soft ones but he prefers the one with the satin trim.

5. What foods are craved (cravings are strong desires)? What foods are hated?
I¡¦m not sure if he actually craves food, but he typically wants something starchy like crackers, sweet like fruit, or yogurt. He hates meat, fish, and most foods that I try to give him. There are foods that he loves (such as grapes), but sometimes when I give them to him he won¡¦t eat them. Meal time is a gamble with him.

6. What drinks are craved? What drinks are hated? I only give him milk and water. We tried watered down juice but he wasn¡¦t that interested in it. I don¡¦t think he hates any drink.

7. How does he/she react when hungry, or hunger is prolonged?
He gets upset , screams, and then throws a tantrum. Then when you pick him up to put him in his high chair he screams and kicks. Even if you bring the food or drink over to him (mid tantrum), he won¡¦t take it or stop crying. He continues crying because he is angry. Maybe he has trouble getting rid of his anger on calming down?

8. How does the weather affect?
I don¡¦t see the weather affect his behavior too much. If it is bad out we stay inside. He is grumpy most times so I wouldn¡¦t notice if he was grumpy when it was raining. He does like being outside, and I¡¦m sure it is more pleasant for him to be outside on a sunny day instead of a cold one.

9. How does the temperature affect?
I don¡¦t notice a change in irritability with hot weather, or depression from dreary days.

10. Are there any other environmental influences negative or positive (season, noise, music, moon, light, dark, day, night, time, smells etc.) He likes music and dancing. He doesn¡¦t like strong smells. I think he has difficulty going to sleep and it is still light out (even with darkening shades).

11. Problems with stool or bowel habit?
He occasionally is upset beforehand. It may bother him. He typically goes under the table to hide when he goes to the bathroom.

Problems with urine or bladder habit?
No.

12. Where does he/she sweat most? Does it stain or smell unusual?
I don¡¦t notice much seating, but when I do it is his face/head. It doesn¡¦t smell at all.

Perhpas the First poster, Jen-

Wanted to have her case taken also-????

Jen if you want Evocationer to take your case- please post again
and put his name in your headline. Each person needs their own
thread to make sure there is no confusion.
 
simone717 9 years ago
My apologies. I didn't realize that I needed a separate thread. It looks like Jen's post was from 2012. I'm not sure if her situation has changed since. then.

Please let me know if I should post this all in a new thread.

Thanks!
Amy
 
A.Skowyra 9 years ago
Hi Amy-

No this is fine. It happens all the time when new people come on.
Bc you posted Jen will get an email alert and if she is still having
a problem I wanted her to know she could avail herself of E's offer.

Good luck!

Hi Simone,

Thank you for the guidance. I wasn't aware of the available help on this site. When I first posted I was seeing if Jen had figured out a resolve to her problem (seeing it had been a few years and her problem seems to be exactly like mine).

Have a great day!
Amy
 
A.Skowyra 9 years ago
Well, we can probably keep it all here for the moment unless the original poster makes a complaint :)

I will work on this today and see what comes up.
 
Evocationer 9 years ago
Ok these are the rubrics I used to arrive at a remedy, which represent a distillation of the information you have given:

Aversion to being touched in children
Capricious, rejects the things which he has longed for
Reserved
Biting
Striking from anger
Taciturn
Intolerant of contradiction
Temper tantrums
Obstinate children

This would seem to clearly point to CINA as the remedy.

The materia medica of Cina shows this picture:

Touchy, ugly (more than Chamomilla)

Aversion to being touched, especially on the head
Screaming
Disatisfaction

Contrariety - refuses things asked for, throws them at you and tries to hit you

Timidity - does not want to go amongst people, does not want anything to do with people, avoids them, wants to be in the background, related to their touchiness

Capricious appetite, craves many and different things

Child stiffens from anger
Ailments from being scolded or punished
Indifference to caresses
Easily offended
Cannot be quieted
Presence of strangers aggravates


Cina belongs to a general group of remedies which have the following themes (Compositae family of plants):

Fear to be touched or approached
Violent, striking

Two other prominent members of this family are Arnica and Chamomilla, both of which appeared to a lesser degree in the above rubrics.

Obtain Cina 200c, preferably in liquid form.

1. Hit the bottle 5 times firmly against the palm of the hand.
2. Place 1 drop into his mouth

Do this once only and report what happens after about 7 days.
 
Evocationer 9 years ago
Hello. I would like to thank you for your analysis and suggestion.

Before I try the Cina 200c, do you know if there are any know side effects? I had read on another site that someone used belladonna for difficult children, and upon further research, I saw that it caused some pretty serious side effects.

Also, do you know what the size of the drop is (ie: 1 ml)? I am a bit hesitant to give my child something that has not been tested or researched. I read a post on this site where a child had developed a fever and a rash from using Cina. Of course, this is only one case of negative side effects, but I haven't seen many studies or reviews where Cina has been used to compare it with.

Thanks!
Amy

Side effects only come from badly prescribed medicines, either ones that are poorly selected or ones that are given in unsuitable doses.

I am very careful with all my prescriptions, and I am a qualified homoeopath with over 20 years of clinical experience. Whatever I ask you to do will be at the lowest risk possible.

All our medicines have been fully tested, and their effectiveness has been verified over the last 150 years. This is not a new remedy, but one of the first ones discovered, and has been used by homoeopaths regularly for children who present in a very similar way to your child.

All patients will typically aggravate as the first step of being cured. A worsening of symptoms is a good sign, and without it you will rarely get any permanent improvement. However, it is not a toxic reaction, as there is no physical substance in the remedy to harm your son. All our medicines work on an energetic or vibrational level, interacting with his own vital energy (life force), much the same way acupuncture does.
