The ABC Homeopathy Forum
seeking advice for very hyperactive 2 year old
Hi, I am new here, but have some background in homeopathics, not on a professional level. I use them on my family and have had great exeperiences with them. I have a 2 year old daughter who is very hyper. We do not give her food dyes (found that out with my son that it triggers hyperactivity in them), they do not get sugary treats, just on occasion, no sodas, they do get some natural juices and yogurt would be about the only place she would get sugar from and that is minimal. She has a hard time winding down to sleep just always on the go. She only gets about 6 1/2 to 7 hours of sleep on average a night. She wakes up throughout the night still. She will wake up screaming and there is a history of night terrors with my son. I do believe that she gets them as well. If she does take a nap just even 30-45 min she will not sleep until midnight at least. She is not vaccinated and does not suffer from any illness. She is just hyper, can't take her to stores, restaurants or public places like that because she will not stay seated. This is not a disciplinary situation either. We do discipline her when needed, and she is not big on the trantrum thing really just average for a 2 year old, a few tears here and there until she gets that we will not give in. I have given her chammomile 30C in the past with no luck and nux vomica by request of another homeopath because I did take that 3x total during my pregnancy with her for severe morning sickenss. He had thought giving her nux would help the symptoms. I haven't given her anything over 3-4 days in length. Oh yes and she was born with acid reflux and colic which she no longer as.Thank you in advance for any advice that you can give.
Sincerely,
April

Hi, I will reply to the list shortly, thank you for your fast reply. I do have Tarentula H that I was told to use on my son when he was going through just about the same thing. I gave it to her 2x in a 3 day period. How long should I give it to her to start noticing any changes? Thanks again and I will get started on the list.
All the best

1. Name: Avery Dicus
2. Age: 2 ½
3. Sex: Female
4. Married/Unmarried: Unmarried
5. weight: 33 lbs
6. Height . Unsure exactly but average height
7. country: USA
8. climate: mild to warm
9. List of your complain first:
1) Hyperactivity
2) Impulsive
3) Inability to calm down and control her actions
10. Diabetic or non Diabetic: Non Diabetic
11. Desire sweets/sour/salt: Desires sweets and sours but will eat salty foods if they are presented to her, including vegetables with minimal sea salt on them.
12. Thirst: Normal thirst, drinks water, milk and some juices
13. Tongue: Normal
14. Current BP (without medicine and with medicine): Unsure
15. What exactly is happening ? Avery is a good child however, she has a lot of curiosity and is very impulsive. She is hyper and just never stops moving. She listens sometimes when we ask her to come back but generally we have to chase her down. She has a hard time falling asleep even as an infant. We did have her going to sleep on her own however, with our work schedules of early morning it has been very wearing on us to have her cry it out for long periods of time and feel that it is unhealthy for her to be stressed like that at bed time. I will sit in her room with her until she falls asleep or rock her in a rocking chair.
16. How do you feel ? If you are asking how I feel as her mother (because I am not sure how she feels about this=) I am tired, she is very wearing on my husband and I. We are stressed with this behavior and do not get a lot of sleep.
17. How does this affect you ? I can tell you that her irregular sleep patters make her grumpy in the afternoons however, if we let her nap then she is up until 11:30 pm -midnight, and not matter what time she goes to bed she always wakes up around 6:45 to 7:30 AM. When she gets overly tired she will cry a lot throughout the day.
18. How does it feel like ? N/A
19. What comes to your mind ? Mischief, that is the first thing she will do to get our attention.
20. One situation that had a big effect on you ? The sleeping situation for all of us.
21. How did that feel like ? N/A
22. What sensation do you experience in that situation ? Unsure what she feels 23. What are you showing by that gesture of your hand.(habits or Action) ? Unsure
24. current medicine you are taking: None
25. family back ground: Background of sleep disorders in Averys Mothers (my) side of the family. I have trouble sleeping from time to time. There is a history of ADHD in both Averys Mom and Dads side of the family.
26. qualification of patient: N/A
27. Nature of working: N/A
28. desire and aversion of food: She desires fruity foods and likes sweets, but does not get them daily. She also desires foods that have carbs such as pastas.
29. Mind-behavior, anger, irritability, hurry, impatient and so.. on and how you are peculiar from other person, public speaking or not , you can describe all the detail about behavior, love and affection. Any confidential and private matter to be discuss by email.
Her behavior can be normal at times of the average 2 year old. But there are very few occasions that we go out as a family and see other children her age acting as she does. Mostly people brush it off and smile at her because she is cute. That isnt what we are going after here. She is just very impulsive when it comes to wanting to go away from the table at a restaurant or climb out of the basket at a grocery store. We are to the point where we do our shopping late at night or on our way home from work to avoid taking her places. She can throw a tantrum from time to time but they arent hold you breath until your face turns blue tantrums, they are just normal crying and saying I want that. We DO NOT give it. She will scream out loud just to hear her own voice. She isnt screaming in anger, but just to hear herself, and yes it is very loud. My son who is now 7 was diagnosed ADHD, we refused medications for it. He is older now and more able to control his actions, but was almost exactly same way that she is right now. We did use some homepathics on him but never found the right remedy. She has not been vaccinated, was born with acid reflux and colic which she out grew around 10-11 months. She walked early about 11 months. She is stubborn too. We are trying to potty train her and even though she is very smart and knows what she is supposed to do she will hold it on the toilet and the minute we get the diaper on her she goes in the diaper and says No Avery, go on the potty. She is very sweet though and caring about others feelings. She does like to cuddle but loses focus and wants to get up and move around. She moves a lot in her sleep and about 2-3 times a week wakes up with night terrors. Not as bad as her brother had them though.
30. Aggravation (increases-time, season,)& Amelioration (Decreases): I do not notice a change in her so far in different seasons.That is all that I can think of right now. Sorry this is so long. Please let me know if you would rather do this over private email. I do thank you kindly for taking the time out of your personal life to help me with this. You have my gratitude.

One more thing I didn't think to put, and I am not sure if this is significant is that she used to love to eat dirt and chalk. She had very similar symptoms to Pica. But has in the last month stopped doing it.
Thank you,

I am not sure how long I should continue giving her the tarentula H as I have not seen improvement, but if anyone has any advice I would be truly grateful.
Thanks

In my opinion Sulphur-30 and Belladonna-30 are high on the list. Begin with a dose of Belladonna and observe the effects then try Sulphur.
kuldeep last decade
Thanks, I once thought of sulphur as well, she matched several in the list. I will look into both of those. Thank you very much for your input!
muggle4 last decade
To anyone that has any advice for me, I am going to purchace the belladonna 30c, from what I have read I think that it matches her symtoms, I am assuming that this is a hard case since I didn't get alot of response on it. How often should I give her the belladonna and for how long? Thank you!
muggle4 last decade
i am not taking case--just think---what you sek to treat is not a problem in itself--as much is a parents personal view how things are to be...-better to approach from --the typical ills she gets and such---treatmenst used in past--vacines;...etc...all such data ...will find if treat in total--much better for child---even if she is happy running around ....societies restrictions breed much ill..
♡ John Stanton last decade
Thanks, I think, for your reply. I am not asking for her to be 'sedated' for my personal gain of a 'quiet child' I by all means am not asking for that and am not sure why that is what you percieve from my post. My daughter does not sleep, maybe you read what you wanted to. She is hyper, she doesn't sleep because she is hyper. It is obvious that you didn't read it through. I stated that she isn't vaccinate, I see that is something that you didn't notice, and I didn't directly ask you to take my case. I simply stated how long on Belladonna. But thank you for making me sound like I am trying to do this for my own gains.

much of what was written was in concern of her mental state as you see it---very limited info on physical aspect ...your own words say---husband and you are stressed due to this and dont get enough sleep----no matter----you got the point whetehr lke it or not...after going through all this you will see need to look further into case --in all aspect...
♡ John Stanton last decade
look into how acid reflux and colic weere treated? also if was brestfeeding at that time? if so mother 's healthh need be considered --as mentioned morning sickness---if treated palitively--then ill passed on to child---sleeping pattern may coincide with mother's state of health during pregnancy---and more so if mother had troube sleeping during pregnacy...these are the things i mean---by looking deeper---if understand homoeopathy--then we are same page...

Hi for what it is worth this looks to me like a Belladonna case which, in my opinion does need treating.
If you have not done so I would give a single dose of Bell 30c and wait, however the chances are that she will need a higher potency within the next 6 months.

Have you ever done a clinical sleep study on your daughter? Sleep depravation can look like a wild child. She may have sleep apnea and you don't know it. Does she snore? Does it sound like she stops breathing and then she takes a big deep breath? Something to consider.

Hi My name is Brandon and I have a two year old boy who is also very very active in every way, very impulsive and I have been reading your situation. I honestly have no idea why I have not tried homeopatic stuff, but am willing too try I have tried every thing else, being sturn not giving up and staying up with him at night, I have gotten so mad and so frustrated that I started to see someone to help me take the aggression. I will not give my son medication, to calm him down but still I have made some progress he listens a lot better, but due to my girlfriends work schedule, shes not nearly home as much as I am, so he hasn't changed any for her. I do feel for you in this situation. I dont want to think that our children have ADHD but all the signs are there. I wont stop and I wont give in even if it hurts me I love my children and and have gone through many nights every week and will go through many more, all I can do is keep trying, even more every day. Slowly but surly I will make more progress and over the past year I have made very little change but I am making change, I guess what I am trying to say is keep in there I am 26 years old and I and have gone through a lot in my life but this is by far the hardest he takes all my energy all my ambition, to learn and yet I love him for it, hang in ther and things will change , drugs are not always the way like you said and I believe. wish you the best of luck and I hope things get better for you and your husband

Your situation sounds exacally identical to my daughter. She is seven now and at one point the Dr's gave her hgh blood pressure meds for the behavior. Even though her blood pressure wa always normal. I rebuked it. I have never given her anything for the behavoir since but I have learned more about her now that we can communicate and I know she behaves badly when she cant breath good. She was always misbehaving and did exacally what yours is doing and it ended up being health related not mental. She has ASTHMA/ Allergies and acid reflux... The behavior is better but tolerable now that she is older. Hang in there your not alone. Try something for immunity and see if its health related and not mental!

Hello I have a two year old son who is almost spot with what you are going through with your daughter. Although I am not happy about your situation I'm glad to hear I am not alone. I also have not interest in giveing my child meds I am going to a Dr in the next week who is an MD and also treats with homeopathic things and I want to discuss with her what I am going through. I would be happy to share with you whatever advise she gives me if in return you have any advise for me as well I would be happy to hear it! Thanks again.
