looking for homeo help for 9 1/2 yr old son in homeo

Thanks for the response. Here are the details.


Finger flapping - He does it when he is excited abous something, when we are done with a discussion and he goes to his room, he is finger flapping. He thinks of something exciting and finger flaps. he tends to stop when he sees us. We tell him to be aware and stop it himself. he told me about a yr ago that his friends a=in school asked him why he does it and one time he even cried a lot asking me 'how come i do it, no one else does it, am not able to stop it, it just comes' etc etc....i told him to tell his friends that its involuntary and that its not in his control, so there is nothing he can do about it. I told him to explain this to anyone who asks about it. And after that he has never cmoplained about anyone teasing him. But he still does it quite a few times. The reason I think its 'cos excitement is that there are hours when I dont see him finger flap, like in the morning when he wake sup, has breakfast, goes to school etc then never have i seen him do it, cos he is busy. Its usually when he is relaxed maybe, over rhe weekends, i have not seen him do it when he is at tennis or maybe just once.

Not understanding personal space: He used to ask perosnal Q to people, there was a time he asked for home numbers, age, and more number related Q...but then not so much now. He used to touch his sister;s hair few yrs ago few time and that stopped. These traits have stopped since. But then there are others, like he is not bashful to ask anything. But i must say that he can keep a secret and that way he shows maturity. am not trying to list positives but explain that none of these symtoms can be applied in totality and he is gradually changing.


Failing to get social cues : When some friend is not interested in him, he still pursues thenm, he will apologize dor something he diod not do, just to be friends. he does not get the fact that they are not intertested. Sometimes he feels agressive, like hoping those kids get hurt, etc, just so they also suffer like he is sufferneing etc. He gets frustated 'cos he is unable to connect, he is not an expert at anything. He gets angry once in a while but understands that he needs friends and changes himself for that, smoetimes he cries at home, rarely at nights when we have our talks telling me about how mean his friends were. Its always in the past, its like he is trying to handle these situations by himself.

Awkard, not athletic- His posture is not very good, he cannot stand straight for long time, He can in the sense its posisble, but he always prefers to lean on soemthing, he sits striaght for long time only 'cso he is doing that to learn vocal music. So its like he can do it, but his body needs support. He takes time to learn a sport, since his legs and arms are not very well coordinated, he tries to do something and cannot do it. In tenis it took lots of time for him to learn to connect, but that was 2 yrs ago and since then he plays well. What am trying to say is that it takes him way longer to learn something, whetehr academic or sport.

Reluctant reader- He does not like big words nor abstract reading. His reading level is good, but comprehension is very poor. he will nto get implied meaning in a text. it has to spelled out well. So he has trouble with reading. he can read well, he reads good books, but he does not like to read, though he does nto accept this. He reads lower levels way better than his level. His comprehension is not to the level that he reads. Long sentences we havr to explain it to him, its like he loses interest in even trying to understand the text, he just reads and moves on w/o understanding.

Lacks comprehension- covered above.

Repeats sentences he tends to do this most, more then finger flapping...its like when he asks me 'when are we going to xyz's plce? i answer' sunday' then he would say 'sunday we are going to their place' he repeats what he hears as though he is processing it. His processing abilities, word processing seems slow and thats also one reason he does not undertstand complicated sentences/text. He repeats 3-4 times several sentences. I have to remind him to astop and then he says' ok ok' and stops.

Limited vocabulary- His poor word decoding, pronounciation and comprehension have lead to limited vocab. He talks in simple sentences, simple but good sentences. He takes time to correct a mistale, like if he says 'so fun' and i correct him to say 'so much fun' then though he corrects it righ then, he continues to say it wrong another day. This is jsut an example.

Not flexible- This is w.r.t the body posture andmovements and the hand-legs coordination. I covered this above in the awkward gait para.

Gets stuck in one part- If we are relating an incident, he goes off ona tangent, like if we were to say we are renting a car to go to this important place, etc...he will ask about hemake of the car, when the issue is not that. if he has thoughts in the middle, he gets lost in those thoughts without listening to the whole conversation.

Goes off in some other direction- same as above. I have to tell him come back to the cnoversation. Smoethies we are dong math and he is trying to underdtasnd something, he will ask me a Q about smoething totally unrelated to Math and am like 'can we come back to the topic' and he says 'ok ok' and then tis fine. But its like he tends to zone off sometimes in his own thoughts.

Not very mature - He still has his child like innocence, I have seen kids who seemt o know much more at his age than he does. It does not sound like problem, maybe this is not one.
