Sometimes children just really won’t cooperate.

While nearly all children can do this to an extent, there are others that are a whole other level.

Maybe they act like they donโ€™t hear youโ€ฆ

Or just straight up say no.

Here are the homeopathic remedies traditionally associated with disobedient children:


1. Ferrum Phos

In this state children donโ€™t simply want to just be *the* boss, they innately view themselves as the authority. They may have an almost militaristic type of way about them, and do not listen because in a way to them you are beneath them. They are often prone to dark undereyes, and may either really love, or really hate, tomatoes. Most issues with disobedience are helped by this remedy alone, can also in conjunction consider the cell salt version.

2. Moschus

This is big in particular for girls with disobedience. Can act almost like they are drunk at times with very goofy and silly behavior. Can come off very excitable and almost larger than life.

3. Lycopodium

Known as being like a tiny dictator, they want to boss around everyone in the house. Often they are worse in some sort of way between 4-8pm. May crave sugar excessively and are prone to a lot of gas/digestive issues.

4. Cina

A parasite state. Very difficult children with immense behavioral issues that can lash out physically and have excessive meltdowns. May be averse to physical affection, often worse around the full moon.

5. Arnica

Similar to Ferr Phos with a militaristic type of energy. Can be very fearful and prone to nightly nightmares, yet is known for notoriously saying โ€œIโ€™m fineโ€ when asked. May have issues with being worse ever since an injury of some type.

6. Chamomilla

Similar to Cina, disobedient children with excessive meltdowns. May want things, and when you give them, no longer want them. Usually are better if picked up and carried.

7. Nux Vom

Disobedient children that are excessively competitive. They often have a lot of issues with their gut, and may act a lot worse after eating certain foods (ie foods with dyes).

8. Lachesis

In these types they can be disobedient but very quick to use hurtful words. Rather than lashing out physically like in Cina, they will be disobedient and name call/try to upset someone by saying something they know will deeply hurt their feelings. Usually has clothing sensory issues.

9. Tarentula

Children with disobedience with a marked cruel nature about them. They can say excessively violent or aggressive things, and laugh when others hurt themselves. Often are deeply drawn to rhythmic beats in music/like to dance to it. May have a history of early separations in infancy.

10. Anacardium

Disobedient children that are like Jekyll and Hyde. Very two distinct natures about them, usually have issues sitting still and focusing. May like to use swear words when upset. Can be mistaken easily for Tarentula.
