Speech Delay in 3 year old

My son is 3. He is not talking yet except for a few words. I don't know if it's because he hears 3 languages at home. I talk Spanish, his father French and English is our common language. I try to be consistent and talk just Spanish with him. My son is very extroverted, loves other kids and the fact that he can't express himself makes him very nervous. He feels so misunderstood that sometimes he wants to bite. Also, this desperation he feels for lack of communication is causing him to behave improperly. He screams, cries and throws temper tantrums. I forgot to mention he refuses to eat most of the time, he refuses even cookies and junk. His diet consists mostly of pediasure and sometimes chicken, meat, pizza, pasta cucumbers (occasionally). Extremely picky, needs to be on a very good mood to eat. He gets offended when offered food. I forgot to mention he is very smart, he loves to do puzzles (even difficult ones) and likes legos and games like that. Could a homeopathic remedy help him talk, eat and behave better?

Thanks a lot.

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

Please describe more of his temperament. Be as detailed as possible.

Talk about his fears and anger in detail.

Also, what are the diseases that run in the family.

What are the general things that make him feel better or worse ?

He is very playful, sociable, very loving, super sensitive, his feelings get hurt easily, demanding, somewhat spoiled, firstborn. He thinks he is the boss of the house, he loves lights, lamps. Extremely stubborn and obstinate. When he wants something he cannot be distracted away from it. When he starts to eat better and gets a stomach virus he stops to eat almost completely for a couple of weeks. When he was born he was offered a bottle at the hospital and after that refused breastfeeding completely, he cried at the breast. We never really found the right formula for him, the doctor kept changing it, he was very constipated most of the time as a baby. Now he has an aversion to food. He senses peoples moods and is affected by them, negativity in his environment makes him worse. When he is reprimanted he gets worse. He dislikes disharmony. He is careful, he knows danger and avoids slides. In his family runs diabetis and hypertension, nothing out of the ordinary. He does not seem to have a lot of fears.

I forgot to mention he does pretend to talk and makes up words and sentences that make no sense. Sometimes he says one coherent word inside a sentence that gives me a clue of what he is talking about. He feels better when he gets his way, when he feels understood, a lot of attention/love. He seems to like ice pops for some a reason. I realized most of his problems have to do with the mouth, talking and eating. He is very slow to adapt to new situations, gets
worse in every way. It was very hard for him to start school, when his baby sister was born and when he moved to a new home.

Can you please talk about his appearance a little bit ?

Also, what is his exact age ?

And, any other things you can think of about him ?
 
sameervermani last decade
He turned 3 in November 1. He is white, slightly tanned skin, brown hair, big brown eyes, thin, somewhat tall.

Generally he resists authority. He resists going into the bath, going out of the bath, having his diaper changed, going to sleep at night. When I drive him in the car he refuses to get out of the car where he does not want to go. He resists to go to sleep at night/nap. In school, he refuses to sit when all the kids are sitting. He wants to do things his own way. He thinks he knows everything. Very bossy. Orders people around (parents, grandparents, teachers).

Some rare lucky days he is the complete opposite. He behaves excellent. He does what he is told and is a pleasure to be with. However, it takes a small upset to trigger on his resistant behavior.

Lately I am scared even to take him to the park because he throws a huge temper tantrum when it is time to go. He embarrases me in public. I can't take him to the toy store because he screams and cries and refuses to go when I don't buy him what he wants.

He can be very easy and sweet, or very stubborn and difficult to handle. I attribute his difficult behavior due to his refusal to eat normally and inability to talk.

And any feelings of jealousy or envy ?
 
sameervermani last decade
He is very jealous of his 9 month old baby sister. He ignores her most of the time, occasionally he displays a small amount of affection towards her. When she first came home from the hospital he showed me the door to bring her back to where she came from. He cried a lot and was very resentful towards me. He refused hugs as kisses, even now there is resentment. He felt betrayed. When she sits on his bed, he points at the floor so I sit her there. He seemed better for a few months, but the jealousy came back when she started to do new things. He lost a lot of attention and misses how things used to be before she came. The eating problen started when he was around 1 before I was pregnant.

Nice. I have picked the remedy.

I need you to order Lachesis LM1 and LM2 from Helios UK in 30 ml teat dropper bottles, in oral liquid form.

Link is below. Please update me when you have the remedy with you. I will tell you how to dose. Do not self-dose as this has a very specific dosing procedure.

sameervermani last decade
Wow! That was fast. I will order what you told me. Thank you very much. I will let you know when I receive it.
 
Caroljk last decade
Dr. Sameer, do you think my son will get a strong aggravation from this remedy?

All the best.
 
Caroljk last decade
Since Sameer is out on vacation, I am responding to your query. LM potencies are mild yet deep-acting potencies and they would most often not lead to aggravation. So sit back and relax!

Regards,
Niel
 
Niel Madhavan last decade
Thank you Niel :) I feel much better.
 
Caroljk last decade
The remedy is very strongly indicated and in that case LM potencies are the gentlest, and most rapid in terms of their curtive effects. Niel is right, there should be minimal aggravation if at all, from the LM1.

So, there is no reason to worry at all.
 
sameervermani last decade
It's very good to know Sameer. Thank you for taking interest in the case and helping us. I am very grateful. I will let you know when I receive the remedy.

Hello Sameer, I just got the remedy. How do I administer it?

Thanks
 
Caroljk last decade
Take out 3 drops of LM1 in 250 ml spring water, stir and give a teaspoon from there.

Report in 4 days after that.

Sameer
 
sameervermani last decade
Ok, I'll let you know in 4 days.
 
Caroljk last decade
Hello Sameer.
30 minutes after taking the remedy he felt thirsty and asked for water. He rarely asks for water. He kept touching his tongue. The second and third day he was very cranky and cried for little things. Overly emotional. Yesterday night he seemed to have abdominal pain. He was bending down to aleviate it. Today he is more willing to learn new things and repeat words he hears. He refused to eat the whole time (just wanted pediasure) until today. He had some yogurt and pizza.
 
Caroljk last decade
Excellent ! This is the ideal response, short aggravation followed by improvements.

Please wait for 2 more days, and then we will think about dosing again.
 
sameervermani last decade
Dear Sameer, he did improve. His behavior is better, he is more obedient, 30% better. He is practicing to pronounce words correctly (he still doesn't say sentences) The appetite comes and goes. It is gone most of the time. Let me know what you think.
 
Caroljk last decade
Excellent signs.

Please give next dose now. But from now on, whenever you dose, you have to hit the base of the Helios LM1 bottle hard on the palm of your hand 10 times before the dose.

After hitting, take out 2 drops of LM1 in 250 ml spring water, stir and give a teaspoon from there.

Report in 4 days after that.

4th day update.
- After taking the remedy he kept touching his tongue once
again.
- He was very happy and euphoric the rest of the day. At night he cried a lot for no apparent reason.
- The second day his cheeks were very red. He couldn't fall asleep to take his afternoon nap which is rare. Again very emotional at night.
- 3rd and 4th days he had some appetite, slight fever and a very hard time falling asleep for his nap (more
energy perhaps?)
- In terms of speech there a small improvement. He is saying a few new words. Seems connect better to people, understands more.

All the best.
 
Caroljk last decade
Excellent, give another dose today, and you have to hit the base of the Helios LM1 bottle hard on the palm of your hand 8 times before the dose.

Same amount of dose as before.

Report in 3 days.

3 day report
He has been very cranky and emotional the whole time. He cried over a cartoon when a house was demolished. One minute he rejects food, the next minute he grabs it off my hand. He seemed to resent/hate me all morning yesterday, in the afternoon he hugged me a lot. He is in resisting mode. Doesn't want to sit on his carseat, change diapers, take a bath, go to school. This is what seems to be a strong aggravation.
 
Caroljk last decade
Hmm..maybe we repeated too soon.

Let us wait and watch for another 3-4 days. This aggravation should pass.

If it doesn't we can do something to calm him down.

Just to make sure, you did hit the Helios bottle 8 times hard before taking out the drops ?
