Help with my two boys!
Hello, ive got two very different little characters but i need a bit of help with both of them please. I'll start with my two year old. He was a brilliant baby, calm, content, slept very well every night, until the age of six months when the teeth started and he has woken every night since. But that is not the main concern. For the past couple of months he's developed this awful anger and goes into a terrible rage if he doesnt get his own way. It starts first thing in the morning, he wakes at 6am and demands to go into the other room and have his milk, if i dont get up immediately he starts to wine very loudly and hits me hard, if i still refuse he throws his dummy and 'baby' (his comfort toy) and starts screaming. I give in as i dont want him to wake his elder brother. If he gets his own way he is fine, he's very affectionate and loving and a lovely happy little character, but his elder brother teases him alot and this will also send him into a rage, he screams very loud, a high pitched scream, throws everything in sight and hits or scratches his brother. Also if he's in one of these rages, if myself or his father says something to him he will hit us too. Nothing seems to calm him and if his elder brother so much as looks at him he will scream and throw more things. At the dinner table he will be fine and then if someone says something innocently to him and he takes it the wrong way, he throws his dinner plate on the floor and refuses to get back in his chair. We seem to be walking on egg shells so as not to provoke him and he doesnt seem to be getting any better. I thought chamomilla was a good idea and i gave him 30c 2 times a day for 2 days but he seemed to get worse so i stopped. I now dont want to give him anything else in case i get the wrong remedy. Can anyone help me please? I'll go on to my older sons problem after. Thank you, sorry its a long post!clare4bou on 2012-07-17

Hi,
if you have not worked with a homeopath before, and
want some help in finding one near you, tell me where
you are and I can give you some options.
You want one who has 5 yrs experience and one who
has worked well with children.

Please go through Antimonium Crud, Tarentula Hispanica, Lachesis and Nux Vomica. You should give him a single dose of the indicated remedy in 200 potency only once and wait for his response for 7-10 days.
You may also write back if you can't decide the remedy on your own.

This started maybe after that he received a vaccine?
How is his sleep?
In what position he sleeps?
He wakes up from nightmares?

Hello, firstly to thank all of you for your replies, i really do appreciate your advice. To Kadwa I will certainly have a look at those remedies and get back to you with what ive decided before i give it to him just to confirm;
And to Parakletos he goes down well in his own bed but wakes after about 3 hours scared as if he's had a nightmare, i used to try and put him back in his bed bed he would just continue to wake after that every half hour until i put him in with us (myself and my husband), so now when he wakes i just put him straight in with us, he then sleeps the night and wakes at 6am, thats when he demands to go in the lounge to have his milk.He usually sleeps on his back.

Hello again.
This sounds very like a medicine called Stramonium. I received no answer to the question of vaccine. Has he been vaccinated prior to these fits of anger?

Hello, yes sorry he has had all the usual childhood vaccinations, the last one being about a year ago, but his anger seemed only to start a couple of months ago. He has good days though and actually today he only got angry on one occasion but it wasnt for very long, he snapped out quite quickly. If after this you still think its stramonium would i only give it to him when he's angry? as appart from his anger fits he is a happy little soul.

Hello again.
I think you should try Stramonium, start with 30C. 3-4 pills.
Give medication at least half an hour before or after food, preferably in the morning.

Hello again, before i read your reply i actually gave him a dose this morning of stramonium 15c 2 pils and since then he has been even more whiny, hitting us and throwing things alot. Is this a good sign? as in he will get worse before he gets better? or should i give him another dose? and is the 15 ok or should i get 30?
clare4bou last decade
Hello clare4bou.
Yes I think you should get 30 C, 15C can be more annoying than healing, in this case.
And yes, there may be an aggravation to begin with. This will pass soon. Now that you've already have given your son 15C, wait a few days and observe what happens. Please check back in a couple of days.
Sincerely, Parakletos.

Firstly to Varun Gupta, thank you for your advice, i really do appreciate you trying to help.
Scondly, to Parakletos, an update on the stramonium. Since i gave it to him on the 21st he was generally just the same, then last night, for the very first time since he was 6 months old, he slept the whole night in his own bed. Then when he woke in the morning, he very calmly got in with me and he stayed laying down and started chatting away very calmly. I hadnt seen him like this in a very long time, it was so lovely, after around 20 minutes like this he asked to go into the other room for his milk, again calmly.I started to think to myself 'this is it, he's cured!' but then his stroppy behaviour resurfaced when he didnt get his own way over something, and today he's been sulky, hitting and throwing things again; im SO disappointed, i really thought that was it. So, Mr P, what do you think should do next? Do you think its still stramonium he needs? Just out of curiosity, is it the anger that made you choose stramonium for my son or something else. When i read about this remedy in my homoeopathy book, he doesnt seem to fit this remedy,He seems to fit chamomilla more, however my book is not very indepth. I do not doubt you, just curious thats all. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you, clare

Hey.
The fact that he reacted in such a positive way, as you describe, shows that we are on the right track.
What you now need to understand; homeopathy is not a miracle medicine. It is rare to take a medication only once, and then all is well. You have to go up gradually.
You have now given a dose of Stramonium 15C, that's correct?
Proposes that you now give a dose of 30C.
Have you already given 30C, giving a second dose, with this medication. Later you may need to give him the 200C, but 3 doses of 30C first.
After you have given him the next dose, 30C, wait a few days. Contact me before you do anything more.
Good luck, hope we can resolve this together. ;-)

Hi again, thank you for your encouragement. Unfortunately the calm behaviour was short lived and he continued yesterday with his touchiness and irritability, and last night he woke after 3 hours and got in with us, he then woke this morning whinning and demanded to go straight to the other room for his milk. Its also very hot here at the moment (Paris, france) and is waking up sweaty, he doesnt seem to cope very well in the heat. He's also demanding to be carried alot more. I do sincerely hope that the good reaction was from the stramonium and that like you said we now need to go up a dose. Ive still got to buy the 30c, i can order it in my pharmacy so will go ahead and do this. When ive given him the first dose i'll report back of any changes. If not, should i continue with a second and third dose in the same day? I appreciate your time in this matter and look forward to hearing from you.

Hello, this is actually for Parakletos, but if anyone else feels they can advise me then feel free. So Mr P, I know its been rather a long time, but i would like to update you on my two year old and to ask you for a bit more advice. When we last left off, he'd had a positive reaction to the stramonium 15c, which was short-lived and you had advised to give him a dose of stram 30c then wait and contact you again. Anyway, the reason why ive taken along time to get back to you is because, before i gave him the stram 30c he suddenly started sleeping the whole night in his own bed, staying there until 8am and waking up calm! This was great, however as the morning went on his anger would increase at the antics of his elder brother or if i told him 'no' for something he would hit me. So i waited a bit longer before deciding to give him the stram 30c, and finally gave it to him when he was in such a rage and hitting us all. When i gave him the stram 30c he stopped sleeping the night again, what a shame! It has now been around 7 days since i gave him the dose and he just wakes like before after 3 hours of sleeping and then wants to get in with us, i have been trying every night to put him back in his bed but he's just not having it and gets angry, so i give in and although we're hot and sweaty and uncomfortable with him in the middle, its the only way he will sleep! I do however think his angry rages have lessened. He still does get angry and hit his brother and us if we say 'no' to something, but im sure that it is less often. So Mr P, please could you advise me what to do next. Do you still think i should give him another dose of stram 30c? I look forward to hearing from you soon.
