Tantrum Hyper Toddler Issue
I have written here in this forum before. My son is now 27 months old and has always been hyper. As a baby he was born two weeks ealier than expected, had colics for the first 3 months, got very overstimulated over any toy, anything pretty much!! he did not like the car seat, the stroller, everything was an overstimulation for him. He was sleeping for 1.5 hour gaps, wanting to be fed in between so I had to alternate breast and formula throughout the first 4 months. Very difficult as a baby, and then a lot more difficult as a toddler. He started crawling at the age of 7 months, walked at 1 year old. Right away was climbing and non-stop moving around. He would always look for trouble, drawers, holes, dogs (he would pull tail, ears) and would not stop even if corrected. As a toddler now, he does understand the concept of the word NO but doesn't follow correctly. He will pick and choose. Meaning, if he really wants it, he will take the consequences and suffer for a bit. He is not intimidated by being in somebody else's house, he will go into their rooms, may open up cabinets or drawers and take whatever he might find interesting. He goes to school 3 hours a day, 4 times a week, and in school he doesn't misbehave except for the normal. His teacher has reassured me that he is one of the best kids. So what is it? I don't understand how he can be 'on the go' all the time. He doesn't like to be inside much, he asks to go outside even if it rains. He's more of an outdoor kid. He rides his bike but likes me to be playing with him all the time, otherwise he will be looking for trouble, like finding creams, lotions, cans, anything around he knows he's not supposed to touch, he will do something to take my attention, whether possitive or negative, but he will go for it. I find it hard to leave my house with him, knowing he will do these type of things wherever I go. He's not just bad to me, it is to his dad, grandparents or anybody in my house. I was recommended to give him Chamomile 30c, 4-5 drops every 3rd day for 15 days. This did not help at all. I give him a lot of attention and his father too. Grandparents live next door so they also give him a lot of attention too. But, he cannot be unsupervised for more than 10 minutes. He will find somewhere to climb and get something he's not supposed to to make it a really dangerous trouble issue in seconds. Doctors and teachers have reassured me that he's not an ADHD kid, only because of the way he is in school. Is there something else there? I don't see anyone else like that!! Your input will be truly appreciated. Thank you for your time.kaban2009 on 2010-01-24

How's his body build? Fat or thin?
Does he have any other issues?
How was the pregnancy?

Thank you for taking the time to read and reply to my post.
He doesn't have any fears, not to animals, not to heights, not to bugs or even the dark. He is totally fearless and will take the additional step even knowing something wrong might occur.
He always ate a lot and continously. He loves to snack, eats lots of bananas, he drinks plenty of water and also loves milk. No loss of appetite or thirst.
He absolutely loves music, singing and dancing. He asks me to sing certain songs over and over again and responds to music in a positive manner.
He is a tall, big kid for his age. He is almost 2 and a half, though his body is as tall and heavy as a 3-4 year-old. He was always on the chubby side, though now he has kept the same weight for the longest time, but growing taller and taller.
Sleeping has always been an issue. He wakes up early even if he goes to sleep at 2 in the morning. As a baby, he would wake up every 1 and a half hour to be fed. Later on, he started waking up 3-4 times in the middle of the night. Then, he started climbing out of his bed to get to ours, but he would still wake up in the middle of the night bothered, wanting attention. Now, he has been sleeping with his dad (took my spot) but wakes up in the middle of the night as if he had bad dreams. He turns and tosses all night, kicks, snores, but he is more comforted knowing his dad is there. So yes, one big issue I have experienced with him since baby is sleeping. He will not fall asleep on his own, he has this thing about grabbing my thumb and rubbing his thumb on my fingernail, it seems like he 'needs' this to relax, and he does. But if you take him to bed, he will never do so. I make him take a nap every day, as also I make him go to sleep at night.
Parents' medical history: No mental or physical issues. We're both into sports, so we've always been active. I haven't been hyper as a child, but his father was more rebellious and active, that he remembers, since 5-6 years old. He says he could not stop moving and that's how he became a sportsman.
I would love to see my child happier. He does not seem to get (though he understands clearly) the rules. He doesn't pick between positive and negative attention, he seems to be okay with both. I play and interact with him a lot, but when this ends, he starts looking for negative attention. Believe me, I have tried the firm NO, escalated to the yelling NO, then used the time-out (works temporarily) and now we seem to be yelling at him all the time, which is unfortunate because we have no choice but to correct him this way. If we speak softly, he will even make fun of us, so we need show him the seriousness of it by frowning and talking to him loud so he gives up or stops. Shows no fear for any of the consequences.
I do not give sugar to him EVER, except for the natural fruit. He eats everything homemade, no spices or junk food. At school, of course they give him what americans eat every day, but this is not the cause of it as he started this pattern before going to school. At school,he respects everyone and follow rules. Maybe because he's there for 3 hours only. I see him around other kids and he seems just like any other, at home, he's something else.
My initial post months ago was about his sleeping pattern. I wonder if the day makes his night misserable, or if the night makes his day misserable. Perhaps a combination. He sleeps an average of 10-12 hours a day combined night and nap. I always thought that was enough, though maybe for his brain is not.
If he would relax more, I think he would appreciate his toys and surroundings more. I can't find a way to slow him down a bit as he still seems to get overstimulated easily.
Thank you sir for your input.
The pregnancy was good the whole time, no issues ever. He just moved a lot all the time, that's when I learned he was going to be a handful.
For colics, I have given him the highland's colic little pills, though it did not work. I tried everything else (massage, bath, etc) though it went away on its own when he turned three months. I went crazy, needless to say. He was a very unhappy baby, didn't like the stroller, didn't like the car seat, got overstimulated with any given toy. Once he started crawling, then things got a little better as far as the stimulation.
I don't know what the cause of his hyperactivity is. We have disciplined him and he still chooses to do it over and over. I have been brought up in a strict home and know what discipline is. He just doesn't get it. He knows he's about to do something wrong, he goes behind your back and does it. He seems to NEED to do new and/or wrong things, when he has tons of toys around. Outside he is distracted, so I found it very helpful to take walks with him and talk about what we see. Outdoors he's another kid. Inside he gets very bossy and ignores his toys, so he starts looking for trouble, then throwing tantrums when corrected, he cannot play on his own (except for a few occassions) as he wants to interact with adults more than anything else. He talks a lot, he knows a lot. He seems to be very smart in picking up things from the first time. His peditrician has told me that he's just a very smart boy so he gets bored quickly and wants to discover new things all the time, though in this discovery trans, he knows he is not allowed to do a certain thing but he will still do it.

HI kaban, while i analyse and get back to you with a remedy, please give him, Evening primrose 250 mg three times daily as a supplement.
♡ maheeru last decade
Maheeru: I am currently searching for the Evening Primrose as directed, though I need to know if these come as oil or capsules. If capsules, how do I administer it to a 2 year-old child? Can it be mixed with something? In looking at the benefits of it, I don't see anything related to my child, and was wondering if you could let me know how it might benefit him directly. Thank you so much for your help.

Hi
You need to look for capsules. If there's a swallowing problem, you can undo the contents of the capsule in some quantity of food and be given.
Evening primrose oil supplements the chain fatty acids, Omega 6 fatty acids including LA and GLA, necessary for proper metabolism in brain helping with hyper activity.

Should it be given at a specific time (before or after meal)? I will buy it and certainly report the results after 10 days. Thank you so much for your help!!

Please follow general homeo restrictions like:
No intake(solid or liquid no matter) for 45 minutes before and after the homeopathic medicine.
Avoid anti doting substances like coffee, camphor, mint and strong smelling perfumes.
Before or after meal doesn't matter.
Also procure Belladonna 1M and have it but don't give it yet.
