Normal evening, Just played 3 board games in a row with Ds1 (6 yrs). Packed him off to bed.
Sitting down and then he comes running down the stairs screaming and crying saying he couldn't breath. I tried to calm him so that I could understand what he meant and he just starting breathing faster and faster. He started crying saying how he didn't want to go to heaven so I phoned the ambulance.
When they turned up the breathing slowed down and he started chatting away to them and obviously loving the scare he gave me. They said his lungs were clear and oxygen levels were perfect and he started to agree with them saying he was fine and that it wasn't going to happen again.
Now he is going to sleep as if nothing happened.
Did he do this on purpose? The ambulance seemed to think so cause of his ADHD and the fact that Ds2 has just found out he has asthma and has pumps. Maybe he is jealous and thinks that I will give him more sympathy if he's ill. What would you do?
I haven't made a fuss but what should I do to address this matter.
What would you do in same situation?
