Please help...9 year old son
Please could someone help me, I am going out of my mind.My 9 year old son is driving me around the bend.
He is always arguing, can't amuse or entertain himself, has muscle twitches, which vary to different parts of the body, is very jealous of his older sister and everything she has, thinks he is left out even though he is not, angers very easily especially when he is told he can't have/do something, hears what people are saying to him but chooses to ignore, he is very active, and generally uncoperative, makes things harder that they have to be just for the sake of it.
He prefers to have cold drinks and likes meat.
He sweats in bed, but no so much during the day.
he is also scared of the dark and of being alone.
He is good when he wakes up, and gets progressively worse throughout the day.
The behaviour is causing friction, he acknowledges it but does nothing to help himself and it is very frustrating.
I would like for someone to help and suggest something that may help before I go completely out of my mind.
I thank you in advance for your gratefully received advice.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
sorry, I forgot to mention that he has to always be the centre of attention, and that he frequently interupts conversations to have his say, often unrelated to the conversation.
He will interupt and say something completely silly, no matter who I am talking to.
Thanks

To kadwa,
thank you, I have ordered the Stramonium and will advise after 15 days.
One question, I am unable to give him 3 doses 4 hours apart as he is at school during the day.
I can do the morning and evening, so what should I do?
Thanks I appreciate your guidance.

He appears to behave well at school, however he does not behave well at his after school activities such as sports etc.
2> How is his sleep
He sleeps well, once he goes to sleep. He has trouble getting to sleep initially but after that sleeps through until morning.
3> Any digestive issues
He has no digestive issues, but he has a very healthy appetite and eats well. He also drinks alot of water, but it has to be cold from the fridge.
thanks for taking the time to assist me.

Do you feel he is egoistic that is behave well if appreciated
Thank you,
he is egotisical, but behavaviour does not improve if he is appreciated. If anything, he feeds off of the attention and gets worse.
Having said that, he is not like it all the time. He can be a very gentle and sensitive little boy that is a joy to be around.

Thank you.
He is a strange little fellow. Whilst he is getting to know someone he is good and behaves well. Once he feels he knows the person/people he starts to behave the same way as he does at home and with other family members.
So, I guess he is quiet until he feels he knows the person and then the real him comes out.

Sorry, the first question
He can be gentle and sensitive, until things don't go his way. That is when the anger and vilence kicks in, not just normal childhood anger either. he gets verbally nasty and strikes out.
On the other side of the coin, he can be palyong with his friends and then do something completely silly and ruin the whole atmosphere for all concerned.
He also does not know when it is time to stop. He will carry on this behaviour quite happily, even when others have asked him to stop. Almost like it is a joke. He does not seem bothered that others don't find it amusing.
He says he does not care.
Thanks

Well as you have ordered Stramonium , you can try that .
His intolerance to directions and defiant behaviour points to remedies like Lycopodium / Mercuris Solubilis .
But first lets see the response to Stramonium.

i appreciate your reply.
I will give the Stramnium a go and if that is not effective then perhaps you could give me your thoughts. Again, I really appreciate your guidance.

Please kind sirs,
It has been 10 days since I gave my son the three doses of Stramonium, and his behaviour has not improved one little bit. If anything, he has got worse.
I has to constantly challenge everything that is said and had a contradictory answer.
He is refusing to be co-operative and is ignoring when spoken to.
It is getting to the point where I want to severely shake him.
Your responses are gratefully appreciated.
Thank you very much for your kind help.
I await your remedy.

Thank you. I will get Lycopodium today and report back in 15 days. Hopefully this will be the answer.

Thank you for your suggestion of Lycopodium. It has been one week and I have to say that things are far worse. He is more arrogant than ever and is now getting into trouble at school. He has also begun being destructive of property, not only his own. Please I appreciate any suggestions you may have, I just don't know what to do.
Thank you and I await your instructions.

i don't think that lyc 30 could lead to such an aggravation. If there is no improvement in his behaviour you may give him a single dose of Chamomilla 30 and see whether it helps.
♡ kadwa last decade
I will get Chamomilla 30. What does a singel dose consist of. I am pretty sure I can only get it in tablet form, so can you please adivse. Thank you.
I am not sure of the Lycopodium caused the aggravation, or whether it is a compounding part of his behaviour.
