2 1/2 year old with temper tantrums

My son has always been cranky. He had colic up until he was about 7 months old, but has remained an irritable child. Here is some information on him.

- I was stressed and angry during my pregnancy and feel I passed this on to him.

-I do not think he was ready to come when I had him. My water broke; however, I never had contractions- the doctors had to induce me.

-During the cooler and cold seasons he does start to get some darker circles under his eyes that look like allergy.

-He is normal height and weight and has a good appetite. He does like sweets and so I keep the sugars to a minimum.

-He plays well with other kids and is even very sweet and nice with his baby brother.

-He does not listen when told to do something most of the time. He is contrary and can go into a fit when the smallest thing is taken from him.

-My husband and I do not like to take him in public because we do not know how he'll act.

-He always has to have something in his hands.

-I never know what kind of mood he will be in, so it creates anxiety in me.

-He has a very healthy digestive tract (bowel movements); however, we've always had to explain to him to chew his food.

I am currently giving him lycopodium; however, I do not know if this is the correct remedy for him.

His temper tantrums have resulted in me feeling like I am a prisoner in my own home - not even venturing out to church.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
In what potency the remedy has been given and how many doses have been given?

I have been giving him lycopodium 6c (5 of the sugar pellets twice a day). Initially I was giving him nux vomica 6x (2 lactose based tablets twice a day), chamomila 30x (2 lactose based tablets twice a day) AND the lycopodium 6c (3 pellets twice a day), but a lady I spoke to said that was WAY too much! I felt terrible to know I was giving my baby too much. She explained to me that you're only supposed to give one remedy at a time, so I stuck with the lycopodium.

Someone suggested to me it might be a gluten intolerance, so I am attempting to remove gluten from his diet as well.

Please stop lycopodium 6c and see how your child behaves in next 15 days.No remedy for 15 days.

Ok will do. I will come back to this forum then. Thank you.

Hello, I am in need of assistance again. I was unaware that remedies had antidotes, and yesterday I gave my son the chamomilla 30x (2 tablets), to help him with his teething. (He has two back molars coming in.) What should I do? I am not even sure lycopodium was the correct remedy for him. What information do you need from me to assist in finding the correct remedy for his behavior and that could possibly assist him with his teething?

Another thing is that my son woke up this morning but stayed in bed until I came to get him (he normally rises, calls my name and then comes into my room to lay down.) He seemed to still be sleepy and glossy eyed until mid-day. He has also acted very sensitive and clingy and whiny today. Could this be because of the chamomilla?

Please give him a single dose of Phosphorus 30C and see how that affects in next 7 days.

Here is an update on my son.

When he wakes up in the morning he still has a glassy eyed look- not everyday but a lot of days- like he didn't get enough sleep. He is still somewhat disagreeable for most of the day. I'm unsure about if this applies to going out in public as we have not gone anywhere for a week. He has not been hungry, but when he is he has been for breads. He also doesn't seem to like meat anymore and is what seems like always thirsty. He still continues to sleep right up on myself or my husband- has to be right next to one of us. He cannot drink cow's milk, but seems to tolerate goat's milk fine. My husband accidentally put cow's milk in his morning breakfast and it gave him diarrhea. I am concerned that the Chamomilla 30x that I gave him for his teething last week is still affecting his behavior. If you offer him something he'll say no, but then when you take it away he cries and says, 'my _____'. He is very sensitive to the slightest reprimand. It makes him cry a lot.

He is still teething as well. Another thing is that we're still potty training him, so this may all be a lot for him to deal with. When told to do something he oftentimes gives me a blank stare a, although it is something I know he understands and has done before. He can be very sweet and will give hugs and kisses; however, he is very stubborn and persistent when he wants to do something or have something.

Please give him a single dose of Sepia 200 and see how that affects in 15 days.

I know it hasn't been the full 15 days yet, but my son is still the same if not worse! He gets mad, starts screaming and crying and throwing a tantrum for any little thing you tell him to do. He still sleep RIGHT up next to myself or my husband at night. Just overall disagreeable- he has us all walking on eggshells because you never know when you're going to make him mad by something - the littlest thing you do. Wakes up cranky from naps.

I would try Lachesis or Hyoscyamus.

I would lean toward Lachesis if he has bad dreams and can't sleep. Does he have any issue with tight things around the neck?

Hyoscyamus if he like to expose his genitals.

Hello- My last post got cut short because my mobile died. I don't think he has bad dreams, but he might on occasion- I think he has mostly 'kid' dreams about things he likes or sees- like raccoons or dinosaurs. When he sleeps though it's just that he feels the need to be right under one of us! He is generally sweet towards his little brother, shares his toys with him and even gives him kisses. I know he has a lot going on in his two year old little world right now, but even for all of that his disposition is irritable, cranky, ornery, and explosive in nature. I really do attribute a majority of this to my stressful pregnancy and possibly some form of a food intolerance.

I forgot to ad- he's got some sort of a rash (doesn't itch) that is on his right cheek. He's still teething (getting his back bottom molars) and we're still attempting to potty train. So yes I know he's got a lot going on, but he's been like this since birth.

And no he doesn't have any issue with showing his genitalia - just a basic Normal curiosity of a 2 1/2 year old boy, but he does pinch his nipples often which I think is somewhat odd.
 
CCMom last decade
Try one wet dose of Lachesis. 30c wait and see if there is a change.

My client's daughter also dreams of dinosaurs she is also Lachesis.

Also have to succuss three times for it to work.

Also no issue with tight things around the neck, but he doesn't like for us to wipe/clean his face if it's dirty. I would like to see what all kadwa says about this as he's in the middle of his sepia dosage and I know I was supposed to wait 15 days, but as previously stated, this goes on day in and day out. I just want a relatively happy little boy and I feel like I'm not doing something correct as a mother. He is a gorgeous little boy, he's smart, can be so funny, loves other kids, but just constantly defies me and challenges almost everything I say. I know he understands a lot more than he lets on- he's very smart- knows all the alphabet, can count to 25, can count backward from 10, knows most of his colors, know a grader from a bulldozer- the list goes on and one- he just is terribly cranky, defiant, and as of recent very sensitive to reprimand!

Update: it's been over 15 days now. My son seems to be doing well! I'm really happy with his progress- what a blessing! I now feel that he is more like what a 'normal' (I use that term loosely) 2 1/2 year old little boy should be like! He still has an occasional breakdown, but that's ok. He's more affectionate towards me, listens to instructions better and seems more content. He wakes up happy in the morning but really cranky from his afternoon nap. He also buries himself under the covers for nap time to the point that he sweats! He still isn't eating much meat and really craves bread which is unusually for him. He's still an awesome big brother to his baby brother as well. We are having a problem with getting him to poop on the potty (before he went without any problems). He sleeps longer in the mornings now as well. I still am giving him liquid calcium magnesium citrate and fermented cod liver oil supplements as well.

Well it seems my old toddler is back. He is moody, broody and for the most part refuses to do what he's told to do. Almost everything requires a defiant response or a test of authority. If you offer him something he'll tell you no he doesn't want it, but then when you take it away he screams for it. He does this really annoying thing of stuffing his mouth with too much food (usually meat), chewing it some and then spitting it out. It REALLY MAKES ME MAD. He doesn't seem to like meat anymore except for breakfast meats like sausage, bacon or ham, still loves his fruit, has never really eaten vegetables and has a really odd craving for breads. I try my hardest to make healthy balanced meals from scratch in my house (organic as often as we can afford), I do not feed him fast food, try to ensure he gets the appropriate amount of sleep, and I pray for him daily. When he sleeps he still sleeps RIGHT UP on me or my husband making it terribly uncomfortable to sleep. He also likes to bury himself under the covers to where when he wakes up he is sweating all over his head. He always seems thirsty as well. Loves cold drinks. He is also holding his bowels for 2-3 days at a time. I can see when he finally does go that he has been holding it (totally different colors and textures in the toilet.). His feelings are also easily hurt by any reprimand. He is still very sweet to his baby brother, loves to be around him and asks for him if he wakes up and does not see him, but he freaks out when the baby starts to cry yelling at him saying, 'Brother stop! Stop crying!' It is the absolute worst when we're in the car. I don't leave the house unless absolutely necessary for this reason. My son loves to go places though. What should I do?

Oh boy- where do I start Kadwa? He seems to have made a little progress with behavior but not much. He still refuses to potty train, and after much observation I realize he is more than capable of having been trained by now. He is so smart, and although I do not like saying this, he is quite the manipulator. I terribly dislike that word when used to describe children; however, that is what I am seeing in him. He still does the thing where if you offer him something he'll say no and then when you take it away he'll say he wants it and will whine. He will act like he doesn't understand what I'm saying and refuse to repeat back to me what I just told him. The biggest regression of all is that now during nap time he poops when he's sleeping or when he wakes up and then stays under the covers until I come check on him! He never pooped during nap time! He still buries himself under the covers and will swear under them. He wakes up and his head is drenched in sweat. Most of him molars are almost 100% erupted now. He talks in his sleep occasionally. He still needs to be right up on me when he falls asleep for nap time. He tells me he has 'bad' dreams about birds, elephants and monkeys but I don't think they're really bad. I think he's just repeating something he heard one of us say. He is ALWAYS testing his limits. I realize this is somewhat normal behavior for 2 1/2 year olds; however, seeing as to how he's been cranky, whiney and ornery since he came out of my belly, I've about had it with him. I've tried spanking, timeout, no tv, put away all his toys, diet modifications, prayer and even just ignoring him. He's not always bad, but good is a lot less often than good. He enjoys playing outside like and child should and I try to give him as much outside playtime as I can when weather permits and I can take the baby outside with me. I still do not leave home with him. Is there any remedy to rid him of this what seems to be innate angst, anger and defiance that dwells inside of him? He seems to have a problem listening to any person in an authority position. I just get the brunt of it all because I'm with him everyday.
