SOME CHILDHOOD PROBLEMS WHICH CAN BE EASILY RESOLVED WITH BACH FLOWERS

TEETHING

Walnut may be used to help the child through this time of transition. Impatiens when the child is obviously becoming irritable and fussy over delays in your response to their needs, as well as the desire to move past this stage of their development. The stress-relieving formula can be used by rubbing it directly onto the gums. When using, one or two drops can be diluted in a teaspoon of water, this may then be rubbed on the gums directly, or dripped onto a frozen stalk of celery or carrot and given to the baby to chew on.

TEMPER TANTRUMS

Cherry Plum, for the loss of temper. Impatiens, for the child's obvious impatience with delays in having their needs met. Vine, when the child's tantrums seem more like an exercise of power used to get their own way.

SIBLING RIVALRY

These emotions may also accompany temper tantrums, and mean or aggressive behavior toward other siblings; Beech, when there is a tendency for the child to be hypercritical or judgmental of other siblings' behavior. Willow, when the child feels that he/she is getting less attention than deserved, or is not as favored as his siblings. This can often lead to resentment and bitterness.
