My 13 year old daughter needs help constitutional type please help!

Hello:

My daughter is 13 and has started her period about 3 months ago for the first time. Prior to this she had all the characteristics of what I will describe but to a more subtle degree and more innocent. These characteristics are since more intense and part of her personality and creating disruption in her life.

She has some underlying reasons that stem from her absent father but does not articulate this to anyone and even denies it when brought up by me. She does feel sorry for him and has had to be the adult child to him. She seems to be ok with him sending occasional emails to her without a lot of other contact. I think she puts on a brave face. I think she feels betrayed by him since he disappeared as he stretches the truth with her as to what he is doing and why he can't see more of her. He is a decent person not meaning to hurt her and has not ever physically hurt her. Emotionally he is just not with it and can't be relied on. That said, I am trying to find her matching constitution in a remedy to start off with.
Traits::
She is defiant, sneaky, rebellious, secretive, dulled, and apathetic with school work and clothing. Determined to do what she wants and side step all responsibility. Clowns around at school, her friends find her humorous. Intolerant of those who she perceives to be slow or lacking in some area socially. But refuses to look at her own mistakes and behavior as a contributing factor to how they may be treating her. Concentration difficult, some brain fog, not able to think on her feet all the time. More shy, quiet and passive with adults except me (her mother). She is not this way with peers usually and meets friends easily. Shy/ nervous when public speaking. Shows lack of confidence/ insecurity with adults but is more confident with peers. Not a follower more wanting to lead into mischief. She is OBSTINET with all people and peers more so when she is comfortable with you. Always convinced she is right without looking at other possibilities or considering researching her thoughts. This causes people to be annoyed sometimes with her. Talks back to me and is defiant with me and polite/ respectful to other adults.

Her generals:

Chilly
Head sweats
Hair loss /thinning
LOVES Carbs/ starchy foods, sweets, fish, meat not veggies and dairy
No chronic issues with health and has not been on meds of any kind since she was 2 years old
Generally very healthy
Hearing slightly impaired
Has occasional stomach nausea
Likes hot baths every night even in the hot summer
General likes to feel clean and dresses well
Sloppy with bedroom and disorganized with items

Appearance: tall thin 115 lbs 5’ 5”
Light brown hair thin and curly

Grayish yellow skin clear complexion sweet looking
Round head with large brown eyes and fairly thin lips
Active with Volley ball her favorite and snowboarding
Tries to straighten her curly hair daily with hair dryer.

She really is a typical kid doing typical acts at her age nothing really outrageous. But her teachers say she is just trying to skate and get by doing as little as possible getting B’s & C’s. I just want to help give her a boost in feeling better about herself and following through and taking responsibility for what is required of her as it is clearly spelled out to her.

Ay suggestions for her constitutional type? Maybe need to layer, I thought she might be a Sulpher type. Please help I really appreciate it!

Hello Kelly,

I’m not sure if you have read articles posted by me, anyway, I receive many requests from parents that have some sort of difficulties with their kids, they are frequently filling my waiting room, not knowing what to expect. As I have read your story, which in many aspects is similar to those people filling my waiting room, therefore I just want to give you some food for thought.

We are still learning “What is good and what is bad”

The sort of judgment which is passed on a situation or a person always depends on the viewpoint of the person passing the judgment. The situation is perceived as good if the point of view is positive. If it is negative, the situation is seen badly. Everybody has its own criteria for judging things and I have no right to pass judgment on that.

However when it comes to kids, we should do our best to learn the purity of perception from our children – not try to suppress it, day in day out. Each adult who tells a child, “You must, you have to, don’t you understand anything, why can’t you learn to live”, without explaining the situation to the child, is nothing but ignorant.

Being sincere and straightforward – and not following a so-called free upbringing – releases a child from mental crisis. A child needs his parents’ wisdom of life because like attracts like. He has come to this particular set of parents precisely due to the similarity between the three of them.

A child comes to this world through his parents, and with a good reason. Parents are already adapted to the physical world and, as such are obliged to teach the child, so that he too can adapt properly, remaining true to himself in every situation in life. Then he won’t have to crash into walls on his way and learn by suffering alone. This is the law of nature and the parents who have failed to teach his child the ways of life before he turns eighteen, shall feel the effect of karmic law on himself.

The parents should always think, “What did I do to cause a situation like that?” and ask the child to forgive his mistake, explaining to him, in a way best understandable to the child, the real reason behind the situation. The child will always forgive and learn from each mistake. Do not be afraid that admitting a mistake will make you look bad in her eyes. Quite the opposite – the child will appreciate your sincerity and think even more highly of you. Every child wants to respect his parents and will always defend them to the world. Puberty is a turning point and after that correcting mistakes will become difficult.

A child needs the truth, however hard it may be – not sweet lies. Man learns only by truth and truth sets you free. A child kept in terror becomes a hypocrite and his protest will grow into bitterness and later, into anger. At the same time his dignity is wounded forever. Where there’s a conflict, a child needs to be told if he was the one who caused it or if it was caused by something else.

The pelvis represents either the ground the person has its roots in or the home. If the child grows up in an unstable family and still has a strong pelvis then this is a Spirit which has consciously elevated itself by hard work. The child has risen above the weaknesses of his family as he knows that otherwise he would be lost.

The child who consciously decides to be better and works with himself in all sincerity shall break free from the boundaries of his family. Such children are fighters who break their spiritual cords for a good reason, even though the bond with the parents may be dear to their hart.

We are all tied to our mothers with an etheric umbilical cord. Often the mother’s influence on the child is so powerful that the child grows more and more like his parents, and then starts to influence others in a similar way. Therefore, if there is any negativity in me with which I influence my husband or wife, my family or environment, then I must ask them to forgive me.

Today, it is hard to get a person, wrapped up in his material concerns, to think, even before I have finished my lessons to them, I hear familiar words, “No-no-no my troubles are caused by nothing like that!” it makes me smile a little because a person like that is ready to deny anything, even the good things, without even bothering to think. They are so wrapped up in negativity that they automatically start fighting back over everything. I repeat over and over again: man was given a brain for a reason, not for decoration.


The child’s relation with its mother and father are determined by the nature of the relationship with its parents in his previous life. In case the relations between child and mother in a past life were not good and the child has chosen me for a parent, it means that I too need to learn this lesson of communication.

Stresses (guilt, fear, anger the three main stresses) breed a lot misunderstanding. The baby has to start setting right its parents’ mistakes from the moment of birth. The reason for the child coming into this life are intertwined with these same problems, only the priorities often get mixed up. The child’s nature and its purpose for coming into this world often have a great deal to do with the parents, but this too is the same as any other obstacle – to be overcome in order to rise higher and clear the path to move on.

The Spirit of the child, when it comes to Earth, is always pure and the feeling of love for its parents is great and sincere. With unending gentleness it seeks out the two people best equipped to give it what it has come to life to experience – difficulties. Here the problems begin, because the parents hand over their own problems, the ones they themselves are supposed to deal with, to the baby. If only we knew how to understand each other, there would be no problems.

Before going any further I would like to repeat, so that you can truly understand:

There is no good and no bad, everything just IS in its goodness and badness.

The spirit of a child stands between its mother and father. All that the father thinks of the mother and in life in general, as well as all that the mother thinks of the father and life in general passes through the child as through a thin sheet of paper, leaving holes – stresses – in the child’s soul.

If the child’s spirit takes the mother’s attitude towards the father and to the whole world as her attitude towards it personally, it can only come to the conclusion that Mother, and consequently all women, think like that. If the spirit is a girl, she will see herself through her mother’s problems.

If the child’s spirit takes the father’s attitude towards the mother and women in general personally, he will develop the idea that all men and thus Father must feel that way – particularly towards his child.

The child understands everything, you only have to explain and ask him to find a reasonable solution to the problem. The spirit is very wise, but its wisdom is never unlimited nor final in any sense.

There are and more children suffering from recurring diseases of the respiratory tract, culminating in asthma. A lot of children complain of frequent stomach-aches, they have no appetite, their growth slows down and their pale skin is often explained in a way as a naturally fair complexion. The child may stop eating in the middle of a meal declaring that he is so full he can’t manage another spoonful. He is often struck by strange bouts of tiredness and may faint if he can’t lie down at once. The child is nervous, apathetic, scared and may experience a fear of death or wish to die. Stubborn allergies and skin-diseases frequently appear, and in spite of extreme restrictions and all the mother’s care and worry, they won’t clear up. The mother usually ends up disappointed with medicine altogether.
These symptoms may appear in different combinations, clearing up
From time to time and then suddenly making their appearance again without any apparent reason.

The reason for this are the parents they cause a stress in the child. Children are psychic until the time their parent’s, that is the materialistic aspect of life, destroy that gift. They see, or rather, they sense the things that grown-ups try to hide from them.

When the parents fight and quarrel a lot the reaction is similar. The child’s love energy runs out – he gives up for the sake of his parents.
The mother’s obligation is to teach the child to be wise, that’s why she has to learn a lot herself. If her own parents have made mistakes in her upbringing then she has to be forgiven them, instead of repeating those mistakes.

Love makes a person strong, understanding and reasonable. But if you let yourself be insulted by something the other person said, your ability to understand the situation is already blocked, and your only concern is to strike back immediately – to stand up for your own rights. Power always breeds protest and protest will grow into anger. It is obvious the parent, being older and stronger, will always have the upper hand in any argument. The more that physical strength is allowed to control the spirit, the weaker the spirit will grow, to the point where the mind of a submissive child will stop developing.

There are lots of ways to control a child:
- some parents resort to verbal abuse,
- some resort to threats,
- some resort to tears as they know that this is the child’s soft spot.

Because a child always wishes the best for his mother and father, some parents say, “You have to do this or that for the sake of the good name of our family,” and the child will do what is expected of him. He would have done it anyway, but now he is under an obligation. The strange thing is that the parents’ behavior is often at odds with the way they expect their children to behave – words and reality contradict. The child is literally sucked dry of energy.

The hard truth is that parents are the first to do violence to the child’s body and soul and, accordingly, are also the ones who have to bear the bitter consequences later. But parents whose favorite pastime is grumbling about their children have a difficult time admitting this.


Life is progress and eventually a child will grow wiser than its parents. The person wiser at a particular moment can and is obliged to teach the other – if he knows how to do it the right way. A parent, not quite sure of himself, could tell the child, “Honey, I’m sorry, but it seems to me that you are doing this wrong. Let me show you.” Every mother and father has to become wise, so that they can teach the child. If they are not wise enough, they should make it their business to learn. The child needs to have respect for his parents and a parent who takes the trouble to learn always deserves a child’s respect.

The mother has a very special role in the family – she is the fountain of love. At the same time the mother’s stresses can keep the whole family from leading a normal life. The guilt, springing from her childhood, keeps mother bustling about, trying to earn love. When she fails, because the familiar fear of not being loved keeps her from her goals, she starts looking for someone to blame. A culprit is easy to find as everybody she becomes close to is a source of constant irritation to her – her husband, neighbors, parent’s etc. the child sees the conflict between his parents, sees love drying up and falls ill.

A person who looks at his mother or father and, sees only an enemy with rigid principles who doesn’t understand young people, is robbing himself of something very valuable. The usual attitude of the young – I can discuss anything with strangers but it is impossible to talk to my own parents – is caused by a subconscious wish to rebel, or in other words, the stress caused by his parents forcing him to learn. He hasn’t realized yet that everything in life is learning.

All forcing is taken painfully, as any kind of imposition is negativity. The youngster can’t see the parents’ care for him behind their strictness. He is already blinded by stress, caused by the fact that he doesn’t know how to grasp his parents’ behavior with his reasonable mind. A child, who has been taught to look for the positive side in the negative, has no trouble trusting his parents and his trust will be returned. Without having to go through a lot of heartache he will be able to realize that substantial feelings have a lot of weight to them while superficial feelings don’t. And even if the parents, in their wish to do good, create a lot of negativity for the youngster, something quite positive may come of it later on.

Young people have no morals – or so they say. They are not right, you know. But the souls of the young see from earliest childhood the harm a fear of not being loved does. An impenetrable wall grows between the father and the mother who, together, should actually form an eternal inseparable whole. They painfully rush into loving to capture whatever possible, and to remember the desire that made them feel real human beings.

I keep stressing the role of the mother more than that of the father as the father cast his influence on the child through the mother. We should still remember that the father may be the mother the next time around and, accordingly, the forgiving the father does is no less important than that of the mother.

More than ever before, children nowadays suffer from the lack of love.

Life is not pleasant in a family where the husband deliberately ridicules the woman’s feelings, or the opposite – is forced to protect him self from them. Likewise, in cases where the woman ridicules the man’s strength or allows her self to get bitter over the man’s insensitivity. The woman has a woman’s role to play and the man is supposed to be a man, otherwise the laws of nature are not balanced in the family.

Teach your children to talk, argue, discuss and express themselves, so that there will be no more people who can talk but have no ability to communicate. Huge amounts of stress are accumulated just because people don’t know how to express themselves in a way that would not be hurtful, or else are afraid to say anything for the fear of hurting someone. And what about the mountains of stress that are created by fear of other people’s opinion, by seeing insult, reprimand, accusation, senseless waste of time, empty blabbering, in every word! People are frightened of not being able to understand another human being, as they know full well how they themselves tend to take everything personally.

A child is a mirror of the home. The parents.


The parents’ characteristic traits are handed down and amplified in their children.

Stress has a tendency to petrify in time until finally the stubborn parents and their children find themselves standing face to face like lumps of granite.

The child is the parents’ reflection in a distorting mirror.

The child needs the truth. Parents who are otherwise good and caring are frightened to tell their child the truth or speak of problems, as they don’t want the child to feel bad.

The child is a lesson to the parents and the parents are a lesson to the child.
Fears are waiting to be set free: Forgive your fear. Forgive your inability to express yourself correctly, forgive the thoughts that are still getting in the way.

Then you’ll be free to come to the same level as the child and tell him, “Look, there’s something I’ve got to talk to you about…” Then you’ll find the right way to approach the child, and you’ll both feel much better afterwards.

The child will surely understand if you are being sincere or just trying to find excuses for yourself, and even in the latter case, he will be perfectly willing to understand if you tell him, Right now it is the only way I know or can do this, but it would make me happy if you’d understand that you are not the reason I’m worried.”

A child wants to be good. A child wants his parents to feel good. Give him this chance early in life. By doing this, you’ll save yourself a lot of suffering afterwards.

What a child longs for most is love. If there’s no other way for him to reach this goal, he will be willing to do it through suffering and disease. This is the way parents create professional patients – weak people who fall ill at every unpleasantness, never realizing that this is a form of blackmail to get care, that is, LOVE.

Observe children, talk to them – they can literally shock you with their wisdom. Their truth and justice are divine. Their ignorance, on the other hand, is caused by the grown-up logic that asserts only knowledge of the physical is worth something.

Regret, pity, moaning, crying, guilt, despair or punishing yourself just makes it worse. You live – you make mistakes. You learn from your mistakes.

Of course I could go on and on since there are so many differences between people, and thousands of variations that can lead to unexplaineable causes. I don’t have sufficient information on this particular case, and I am not able to look into your heart, this only you can do.I only hope that this post can help you in looking at your daughter from a different angle,

Regards,
Dr.Beek
