Speech Interaction Concentration 4.8 yr old
I have a 4.8 yr old son.I had normal delivery. He has had his vaccinations on time.
My son he has had delayed speech and he is not commucating with us and others according to his age level...
Teachers in preschool complain that he does not sit at one place...is very easily distracted....and does not participate in activities.
His vocabulary is growing I would say...but he does'nt ask questions out of curiosity like kids his age are expected to.
When he wants something he will ask for it.
When I ask him why does he want to go to the zoo...he will respond when he feels like 'tiger'.
If we tell him to watch cartoon he will not watch...but if he has to watch 'baby bumblebee vocab' tape or barney and sometimes jump on bed he will watch.
He does repeat at times what we or other say to him 'echolalia'....sometime he keeps mentioning his own name....like let say his name is 'John'...he would say 'no John no'....just what the teacher has been apparently telling him whole day.
Sometimes when we scold him for misbehaving he will respond by saying something out of context like mentioning the name of his favorite restaurant.
When we ask him his name he will only respond when forced, coerced, helped even though he knows it and can spell it....for my and my husbands name also it depends on his mood...
When we ask him what day is it today...he will respond Thursday for everyday...even though he knows all seven days in sequence...
he can make maps of the world and USA very quickly...
he plays on slides, gets into swim pool and tries to swim....
Flash cards he can recognize and speak out faces of presidents, world leaders, birds, animals, birds, organs of the body, shapes, polygons etc...
When we went to the zoo...he was moving around without looking at the animals...I asked him how many elephants...he looked and counted right...same with all other animals...
While teaching him to write he would allow us to teach him only what he wants to write...
With alphabets...he only is willing to learn 'A' is for apple....'A' is not for 'airplane'
Recently in the car he has been wanting to turn on to hindi music...and sometimes 'hums' and mentions few lyrics too of Hindi songs
Sometimes he turns pages of books which he likes but while having dinner he would like to eat and read....
Sometimes he gets all excited and runs towards us and hold us if we are sitting at the base of the neck and smile with excitement looking right into the eye....
Now the teachers have construed this as 'choking' and give us an ultimatum....we have told him not to touch other kids but he has not been understanding to listen.....
He has been on Kaliphos and Baryta Carbonica since two weeks.
His eye contact which was weak had improved considerably...
Now the dilemma is how do we improve this behaviour esp 'choking', participating in activities, interacting, communicating.
Yes one more thing he was laughing when another kid was crying...so looks like he his not understanding emotions...
Now the homeopathy medicines Kaliphos and Baryta Carbonica have been recommeded by a homeopath...
But I had ordered Stramonium 30C on my own...and had give him two drops...along with Kaliphos and Baryta Carbonica...now I think I did see some change in him then...but when I spoke to Homeopath he said to Stop Stramonium as it is only for extreme cases....
Any inputs ???

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
What is the size of his head, normal, small, large?
Stramonium on which symptom you are giving to him, frequent use of stram. is harmful?
Kali Phos is a brain/nerve tonic therefore, it can be given but in what potency?.
Baryta carb on what symptoms you are using and in which potency.

Stramonium I have stopped giving him...I saw in a healthstore with 'restlessness' written over....and I used only 3-4 times 2 drops....
Regarding Kali Phos and Baryta Carbonica...I am giving him 15 granules each twice each daily, 7am, 9am, 6pm, 9pm....I don't know what potency as the doctor mailed the medicines from India with no potency mentioned...just how many grnules to give.

Some times a baby having small head faces these problems. But you say it is normal then do not worry. My other two questions are also not cleared by you. I think you are being under treatment of some other doctor,therefore, you should contract him for proper advise.

Dr Mahfooz:
Thnks for your reply...
1) I measured the circumference of his head...just as one would for buying a hat...it is 21-22 inches.
2) Yes he still has babyish features on his face as compared to other kids in his class. That is appearance wise he is a little babyish...but physically I would say he is on par...Does it matter...pl reply....
3) What remedies are available for small head as you mention...pl advise
4) The potencies I do not know...because the homeopath clinic was'nt willing to divulge...homeopath is in India...all I know is that I am to give him 15 pellets/granules of Kaliphos and Baryta Carbonica twice a day....
5) Baryta Carbonica and Kaliphos were prescribed whn I mentioned above symptoms to the doctor over the phone from USA...then they just mailed the medicines with instructions....
6) Stramonium I ordered from health store as it mentioned 'restlessness' on it...I asked them about it and they told me not to give it as they feel it is only for extreme cases....so Stramonium has been only administered couple times...2 drops in 30C and stopped completely....Do you think I should worry about it...long term effects ???
