Rage in a toddler?
My son has recently unleashed a fury like none of us has yet seen in a child. While propmted to see a psychologist a think a more permanent solution may be found in homeopathy, I welcome any comments concerning. A baby that was pampered at every whim, my son rarely cried as an infant, though he was very demanding. He has and continues to be breastfed at 31 months (2 1/2 years) I have spent most of his life by his side making sure he received lots of love and attention, even cosleeping with him. With another one on the way, I have had to make a full time return to the workforce. Two nights per week he is in the care of my mother with 1 or 2 other children, one of whom he has grown up with. My mother is reporting a rage and fury in him with tight fists and incessant scratching, biting, punching, kicking, screaming, and even trying to stomp on another child's head. This is a behavior which we have not seen before in him and are extremely perplexed by as we use time outs and make amends for wrong doings. He has had one spanking ever for letting himself outside as time outs seemed to have lost their effectiveness. As a 1 year old, I have also slapped his hamd for reaching for outlets. These few times that I have physically struck him is when he seems to become violent with others, children and adults alike. He has sandy blond hair and fair skin, he is slender but not rail thin, he has a healthy suppleness about him with out being stocky, thick, or dense. I have raised him a vegetarian, focusing his diet around cooked veggies and fresh fruits. He does not like bread or sandwiches. He loves bagels, pizza, broccoli, carrots, corn, peas, green beans, potatoes, grapes, apples, bananas, and pineapple. He does not like to be covered at night at all and he sometimes (not very often) whimpers or laughs in his sleep. I used to wake and comfort him if I heard him cry out in his sleep. He is very jealous, demanding, explosively angry, does not show remorse, screams often when angry, does not respond to time out, and refuses to apologize. These behaviors come in microbursts over the last week or two. He likes to pretend, he has a fixation on the ocean, he has an affinity for whales, dolphins, sharks, fish and mermaids. He loves to swim, loves the outdoors, laughs (he is very funny and likes to do knock knock jokes), run and participate, however, if he is not first in a group, he is likely to sit down and pout, he is also likely to be impatient and refuses to share. He has been accused of having a likelyhood toward ADD/ADHD. He is a very loving and affectionate child. Loves to cuddle and watch movies. He has not been vaccinated, has had yeast problems after antibiotics (amoxicillin, given twice) and was on anthelminthic treatment (mebendazole 1 daily for 3 days)for a hookworm infection in his foot accompanying a fungal infection in the entry site on his foot. This treatment was followed with an herbal antiparasitic protocol. That is all I have time for now, I invite comments from anyone with any advice as to how to handle this situation. Thank you for your time and God Bless.Mon Cherie Amour on 2005-08-12
This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
The dislike of being covered at night and the sudden explosive temper point to Sulphur .
Is he basically untidy - seems fairly witty , he will find it very difficult to come to terms with another child.
Encourage physical activity and limit the attention you give ,, in preperation for number two.

I just started this process... my son is 3 and he has a lot of those symptoms and also more... my current pediatrician told us he might have sensory processing disorder they used to call it sensory Integration dysfunction... I am not sure about all of this but my son at one was able to talk advanced 6 word sentences and now he screams and hits more. I was wondering does he seem to not like touch sometimes or when others touch toys of his? or when things get out of order? or even put hands over ears? or seem to get mad over the slightest things? or even the opposite maybe craves these things... I AM NOT a doctor JUST A MOM going through this as well trying to figure how to help him... my son also has asthma and I am here to ask anyone to help me. when we give him the meds for asthma he goes haywire and this last time he woke up the next day and asked me "help me" But when I went to touch him he screamed and shivered... but he said help me... and cried and tried to give me a hug but he could not handle the sensation of the touch. Normally he loves hugs -- when he can handle the feeling of touch so I am posting this here but also I am going to post this as a question.. I hope we find our answers --- take care

Dear E,
Thank you for your reply. I am interested in what you know and what your child's symptoms are. Please feel free to post or email, please send a detailed list of symptoms so I can compare with my own son. I would greatly appreciate this. I have not yet begun his treatment but I will by the end of this week. I'll keep you posted and let you know how he is responding. I read about the vaccine response your son had, I am curious to know more. My son has not been vaccinated. I would like to know if your son's issues began befrore or after his vaccines. I as well hope we find the answers we are searching for to help our loved ones. I do believe that we have come to the right place! Good Luck!
