And she has a little brother who is nearly four years younger. I too noticed that these outbursts occurred when she was over- tired.

It was shocking to hear and I had no idea how to respond or what to say. harrietĪt around the same age as your son, my daughter started saying she wanted to kill herself, or shoot herself, or go to sleep and never wake up, etc. Let us know if you need a few names of such professionals. Psychotherapists who specialize in working with children - and their parents - are specifically trained to sort out these complex issues in the absence of direct verbal skills in a child. It might simply be an expression of some other issue.

I'd think it helpful to get professional input - your child may or may not be intending to cause harm. I'm not saying it will be a disaster for your son, but just proceed with caution, and try every other possibility first. I also believe counseling with the right person could be beneficial, but it would probably be good to find someone willing to diagnose him with something minor like ''adjustment disorder'' (your insurance is always billed with a diagnostic code) to prevent problems/discrimination later in life.īelieve me, seeing a psychiatrist is, without a doubt, the single biggest mistake I've made in my life. I know that sounds dramatic, but it's true. The results of taking him to a psychiatrist could potentially be disastrous. Please address his diet, have comprehensive lab testing done on him, and talk to him about what's going on before you take him to a psychiatrist. Google ''study 329'' if you want an idea of some of the nefarious stuff psychiatry has done in regards to children. Well, there's a huge percentage of people who have very negative experiences with psychiatry, too, and I would caution you to look adequately at the risks before making that decison. That is not that I think people are biased, per se, many times they are speaking to their own experience. I find that Berkeley Parents Network in general has a very pro-psychiatry bent, which has often led me consider discontinuing my subscription. Antidepressants have very little to no efficacy in children and the adverse reactions can have horrible consequences and most often lead to worse diagnoses and eventually a lifetime of disability for the child. I'm gonna be (probably) unpopular here and suggest that you do not go the medication route. All in all, taking it seriously and following up made this a growth experience for all of us. She hasn't made those statement in months, seems much happier, and has made new friends. My daughter has a very sensitive, perceptive temperament so I need to really pay attention to all the things that can be making a difference in her emotional life. Also we realized the few times after she made statements like that at home it was when she was overtired so we got her to bed earlier and cut down on sugar consumption. The therapist helped her change her language to more appropriate ways of expression but it also turned out that a girl was bullying my daughter and it was more upsetting than we realized so we also addressed that. We took her to therapy and the therapist assessed her, said she didn't think it was a serious risk. As you can imagine the teacher was very worried and called us in. My daughter (7 yo)said this but to her teacher. It may sound strange, but trying something like that from a neutral party might be worth a try. I read the section to my kids, and for one reason or another my son stopped saying it and hasn't said it again. In it, they describe a similar situation. I was at a loss on how to deal with it, and at the time I was reading 1-2-3 magic series. My older son was about six when he started to say that. He is also very verbal, thinks very hard about things, and reads or listens to just about anything. Does anyone have any experience with a dramatic child? Should we seek professional help for our child or is he just acting out in the most shocking way he can think of? He is a sensitive kid, always has been. We have definitely decided he is over tired. Finally, we decided to ignore these statements to avoid any interest in just getting a rise out of us. At first we acted very shocked, then we moved to frustration and anger. It is not every night but even once in awhile is starting to freak us out. He starts these rants almost always at night some time after 8pm. These statements come from our 5 year old son. Or ''I want to blow up this house'' or ''I will push (3 year old brother) off a cliff'' or ''I hate you''. My 6 year old just said he wanted to kill himself.5 year old says "I want to kill myself".
