Temper Tantrums
TEMPER TANTRUM IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AGE
A tantrum, temper tantrum, meltdown or hissy fit is an emotional outburst, usually associated with children or those in emotional distress, that is typically characterized by stubbornness, crying, screaming, defiance, anger ranting, a resistance to attempts at pacification and, in some cases, hitting. Physical control may be lost; the person may be unable to remain still; and even if the “goal” of the person is met, he or she may not be calmed.
Thankfully, tantrums may be less frequent during the preschool years than they were during the terrible twos. But when tantrums do hit, they’re as challenging as ever. And as many veteran parents attest, tantrums may continue to flare up well into the grade-school years.
Tantrum may develop due to jealousy between siblings, narcissistic rages, or uncouncious reaction to feeling of guilt.
We may find such tantrums in food choices also, where child may become unyielding for eating his favourite dish without thinking whether good for his health or not leading to some health issues. If this stubbornness is accepted by parents child get appreciated in negative way and get headstrong in every matter. Looking on other side if child is not cared enough he may become a victim of depression, neglected feeling, lack of confidence, phobias, etc. Sometimes child may develop psychosomatic disorders like school going headache, pain in tummy, anticipatory diarrhoea, etc.
Homoeopathically human psyche is classified as sensitivity, developmental level of love, care, security, creativity and responsibility, as well as one upmanship behaviour where child feels competitiveness, rivalry, jealousy.
In this vast homoeopathic science, there are hundreds of medicine which addresses these psychological states of human development. Homoeopathic medicine prescribed by understanding this unique nature of child helps in getting rid of present developmental error, enhancing balance and harmony in child thus elevating child to his next level of development.
At this age group, there is no scope of counselling, if Doc’s are expected for counselling, parents are the best counsellor too. But when this all proves  worthless, homoeopathy serves miraculous results.
I remembered  param, of 4yr age. He wants all things new, he always wants new glass of milk. When ask for ice cream that how it taste, immediately he refused to eat. If his mother remove his shoes, he get hyper and ask to repeat the whole process ask her to drop him back to school then he will come back to home and finally he will remove shoes. After 15 days of homoeopathic medicine choosen according to his mind state, child behaviour improved drastically. Obstinacy reduced. He now started to understand what his mother ask for easily.
For this kind of unique pyschological behaviour homoeopathy has medicines like sulphur,silicea, calcarea carb,phosphorus,natrium mur,chamomilla,cina,thuja,iodum,belladonna,tuberculinum,lachesis,tarantula, which can be given by expert understanding of nature of child to make him or her in better equilibrium.
