Tantrum Hyper Toddler Issue 10

Hyper toddler needs help

My boy is 25 months old, very healthy, hyper, curious, on the go all the time. He is very hard to cope with as far as keeping him entertained. He picks up a toy, one minute later he drops it, he loves to be outside most of the time. My concern is that he seems to fight everything when told no, he dares you until he's punished. He seems bored when he has plenty of things to do and play with. Besides that, he has been waking up around midnight to jump into our bed, in which i have decided to leave him on my spot and remove myself from the room to take the couch in his room. He then goes back to sleep knowing he's next to his dad. He is very clingy and demands my attention and others (i live with my parents as well). What can calm him down so that he doesn't seem to be a cranky unhappy boy all day? How about his night rest? He is fighting naps and going to bed at night, though I have to put him down for a 2 hour nap and then goes to sleep around 8:30, 9 pm. He wakes up at 6 am. He will be going to preschool soon. I don't know why he has this anxiety with me. I am next to him (or close) all the time, but he just doesn't let me do anything, like bathroom, cook, clean, etc.... it is very tiring, though I'm more concerned about his mental state than mine. Please help.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
at the age he is at its too young to diagnose him with ADHD. My daughter has that and they didn't want to diagnose it until she was 7 years old. Much to my dismay. When she was finally diagnosed I knew she was and I was relieved. Talk to his pediatrician and see what they have to offer. Find a group of moms that deal with the same thing or near to it. I hope you find a way to deal hun!

Thank you so much for your kind words. I did talk to his pediatrician and through some basic screening she reassured me that ADD/ADHD is not his case. Of course, it is too soon to find out. I read that Cina helps, and somewhere I found JAPALA as a suggested remedy to ease his behavioral ways plus his sleeping disorders. I am just too new to it and therefore need a lot of advise should there be a remedy out there to help him. Once again, thank you for taking the time to respond.

hey your sons case is just hyper activity, as you are aware diagnosing ADHD or ADD is very early, anyways, is he getting irritated if you do not give the toy he wants, is he demanding new games or toys to play and the min given is he ignoring and going to the other. how were is mile stones like turning around, head holding, social smile, speech, walking etc. did they all happen in time or early or late.
describe more about anger, what he does when he is angry, or anxious or left alone etc.
Thanks.

Thanks for your post. My son has been hyper since I was pregnant, then when born, he had colics for 3 months, then came the teething, always sleeping for 1.5 hours gaps, lots of crying. At age of four months he did not want to be held as a baby, was already pulling himself up and standing on my lap. Never sat as a 6 month old baby would to play with toys. He would become overstimulated easily. Crawled at 7 months, walked at 12 months. Right away started running, climbing, etc.... very curious as of today. No fears. He is very demanding when something is wanted, for example, he loves bananas. He had one or two already, but he wants banana. You can show him ten different alternatives, but he wants banana. He's always been the type of kid that would hold a toy for a few seconds, then drop it and grab another one. Now, which puzzles me and I like it at the same time, he loves to do a wooden puzzles that has shapes, and will do it over and over like 5 times. So, that shows he has some interest and focuses on something for longer than a minute!! All his milestones were met one time. He talks a lot and socializes too, smiling, kissing, etc. When he gets angry, he screams right away and cries and keeps saying what he wants until given. Of course, if it's something he cannot have, I don't give in so he escalates to self punishment, which might be hitting me or the person telling him no, or worse, will bang his head on the wall, floor or whatever he sees near. This head banging started earlier but faded off as he started talking more. But still, when he does that, I remove him from the place and put him in time out. He simply does not stop moving and searching for new discoveries. He needs to be put down for naps and night sleep otherwise he keeps going. He fights it, but does not win. We have a ritual of eating, bath, milk while reading a story, pray, hold hands until he's done. He then wakes up a few hours later and shows up on my bad crying (demanding) his spot. Because my husband doesn't want him to 'cry' in the middle of the night, I have decided to put him on my spot and remove myself from the room to sleep in another, which is fine with me as I need my rest, but then my husband wakes up in the morning saying he couldn't sleep because my son keeps turning, tossing, throwing arms and legs, waking up and not falling back asleep for another hour, etc.... I really want my son to be happier, calmer, rested. I know his tempers have also to do with his restless nights, besides his perseverant personality. I have been taking Valeriana Extract which helped me a lot when feeling frustrated and stressed. Could he use a few drops? I have given him Hylands Calms Forte for kids, which has a blend of Aconitum, Chamomilla, Pulsatilla, Lycopodium (all in the 6x), but did 8 doses as recommended, every 15 minutes, and did not work at all. Maybe the fact that I can't put it UNDER his tongue? but 8 doses and he still woke up twice a night and then at 6 am?? This is so tiring! When he had colics I searched and reasearched and nothing worked, only time. I wonder if this is going to be the same.... I'm thinking, there is got to be something out there to help this poor little guy!!! Any information will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

i understand that you have given most of the medicines but it is in very low potencies, so i suggest you to give him
chamomilla 30 (4-6 drops liquid) once in 3 days for 15 days, which is you will give 5 doses in 15 days. just place the medicines on the tongue directly.
we will see how it goes in two weeks time.
Thanks.
