Phosphorus for emotional symptoms in 9 yo child

Hi there, I have been through the symptoms and reperetorised Phosphorus as being the remedy for my son. His main concerns are Fear of death, of being sick from anything (the other day he got our friends puppies dog pee on his hand and thought he might die of it as he put his hand near mouth) and of being alone. He is better for company. He also mutters to himself a lot when he's frustrated. The material medica suits his state of being very accurately (he loves being centre of attention!) so I feel this is the one for him. I've doubled checked here and Phos came up as the one too so I'm going to try this one out.
What I need to figure out now is the potency. We have just learnt in my course of lower potencies for older animals (its a farming homeo course!) and higher potencies for younger more spritely animals so I am applying the same logic to my bright young son!
What I need some advice on is how high to go, 200C, 1M or 10M? Any advice or suggestions would be most appreciated.

ADVISABLE TO START WITH A LOW POTENCY.IE 30.

ARS ALB AS PER MY ANALYSIS MORE SUITABLE.

HOWEVER YOU CAN,SINCE YOU HAVE ANALYSED TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION MORE SYMPTOMS,GIVE PHOS.

Hiya, Thanks for that. I've read the MM for both, from a few different books and in some references one seems like the one and then I read another MM and the other seems to fit more! With symptom finder Phos does come up as main so will try that and wait and see and if no change Ars Alb. Why do you think 30c over a higher potency? As it's an emotional issue and he's a child, surely a higher potency is better? I'm interested and learning at moment so any info is good for me to understand more!
How long should I wait to see if there's a change? As it's emotional it might be a week or so before I can really tell.
Thanks!

When uncertain about which remedy and potency to choose, we tend to see lower potencies with more frequent dosing. (Try any of 5, 6 or 7ch.) If you start low, increase potency with response. Decrease potency if no response, or switch remedy). Selecting a variety of selections will allow experimentation: they can be combined safely.
