1. Describe your main suffering?

Hard time staying focused , very poor listening skills.

If the task at hand is little challanging , he wouldn't even try a bit.

Scared of dark or sleeping alone.

When I drop him in arts or dance class , if he doesn't have a friend he knows in the class , he wants me to stay with him until class is done.He once told me he gets scared when I leave him in the class that I might not come back and pick him up .?'

Some times I need to shout 4 to 5 times to get his attention , When my shouting becomes a screm thats when he responds mostly because he things Mommy might get mad.

Gets very mad and cranky if he doesn't get what he wants , for example if I say NO for playing vidoe game , he would be fighting with me continuously for 2 or 3 hours until he gets it.(This only happens with parents , ouside the home he never even argues that much with teachers or friends)

fidgeting with hands and legs or staring in the space when asked to do homework at school or home . Need contant reminder like every 5 mins to get his atention.

Rushing to get things done .

He apolozise a lot , tries to praise his friends and willing to give out his favourite toys to impress his friends , low self esteem .

Talking too much and his discussion/topics are unmatured.

we never saw him fighting hard with his friends to get anything , he aske once or twice if he doesn't gets it , he stays back.

Very forgetful .

We tried Arts , dance and soccer , can't stay foccused or listen to his teachers more than 5 mins.

unmatured compared to kids of his age .

When we go on a ride or restaurent , he cannot sit still for more than 5 mins , he would be leaning to person next to him , kicking with his legs or keeps on asking when we will be done.

As a infant and toddler , he bahaved as if he was never hungry .I always had to force feed him . His food intake had gotten better now.

He doesn't think about food until he is extremely starving . When is starving , he would have no idea what he wants to eat , he comes open the fridge and open the closet trying to find food altough he knows what we have and where they are .

As he is getting older , trying to sneak things or lie so he doesn't get in to trouble with parents. As he is not smarter in sneaking or lying he is getting in to more trouble.

Doesn't put much thought towards doing things.

Playing in group of friends , I always see other kids telling him to do things right .

When I take him out for a walk , he tries to pick things from floor like stick or leaves or pulling leaves from trees . Doing something or other with hands.





2. What other physical sufferings do you have in your body?

He is in good health over all . Lack of water intake . Chapped lips all the time.

We give him healthy food but at times I see him just sitting down in the middle of the game and pulling grass while playing soccer or hade and seek with kids .I believe mostly because he lost interest in the game after few mins.

At times I don't see him in good mood when he wakes up.He wakes up from bed , lying on the floor just staring.


7. What are the things which aggravate your suffering and which are those which ameliorate the same?
We don't give him too much sugars . 1 or 2 choclates in a week.


8. Do your think your sufferings have relation to any external stimuli (like, change of place) or any internal biological changes in the body, like, menses (in females)?




9. When do you feel better, during hot weather or cold weather, humid or dry weather?



10. Describe your general mental set up? Are you Moody, Arrogant, Mild, Agreeable Changeable, Nervous, Suspicious, Easily offended, Quiet, Arguing, Irritating, Lazy etc.

Doctor I'll go ahead and order it. I have following concerns/question.
1) The challenge I have with him while giving homeopathy medicine , I couldn't make him keep it under his tongue and let it melt.He either swallows or bites with his teeth.

2) Even before I could post this thread I gave him Stram 200c second time on 09/22 , can I still go ahead and give him Baryta Card 30 , just wanted to make sure they both don't conflict with treatment.

3)Is the dosage as usual 2 pills for 3 days in the morning?

Please wait for 7 days at least for his response to Stram. It doesn't matter if he chews pills instead of dissolving in mouth.

Please report back after a week before going ahead on your own.

It has been exactly one week he took stram , this time we didn't see any changes with stram . He was having cold when we gave him stram .What should I do now ? Shall I go ahead with what you suggested .
( last time when he took the stram with empty stomach we saw some improvement with him in a week like
he wasn't scared
Talking little less to himself
But attention hasn't improved )
