cranky, stubborn and crying child

Hi,
My daughter is 3.25 years old she is always cranky and has been very stubborn. She keeps repeating herself no matter what we tell her.
Grinds her teeth a lot in nights when sleeping. Scared of darkness and does not want to go to sleep and tries to stretch herself as long as she can. She will start crying for no reason and will keep crying for longer periods of time and then she will become ok for some time. Very fussy and very cranky. Keeps changing her mind after every 5 minutes. We can never find out what she wants as she keeps changing her demands. She'll say she wants milk then changes it to juice, then cookies and so on. Argues on everything with us and wants to do everything by herself, does not want us to help her with anything. Can not focus on any task for more than 5 minutes, whether she is coloring books or looking at story books. We haven't been able to potty train her yet.
The thing that worries me most is extremely hard teeth grinding while sleeping and then she wakes up in the middle of night screaming like crazy and takes us 20 to 30 minutes to calm her down and put her back to sleep but this happens every other night and she talks in sleep as well, a very restless mind perhaps. She is not very fond of food but likes sweet things and milk and juices.
I am giving her podophyllum 30c for teeth grinding but it didn't work. Please help!!
Thanks

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.

Please stop podophyllum, it's not close to the symptom profile. Leave a gap of 10 days without any medicine.

You may try Lycopodium 30c one pill or drop twice daily for 3 days ONLY. Observe the changes and report after 15 days.
