I am puzzled by my 3 yo DC1's recent comments when he describes himself...he has always been a very outgoing, social and seemingly happy boy but recently started saying that he is naughty (which he really is not,.and we never call him naughty or do naughty steps etc). Today he added that he was "not a special boy" to us and appeared very sad...one part of me is thinking that this is one of his role playing acts (which he does A LOT), but i am also a bit concerned that he appears to think that we do not appreciate him/he does not feel loved. can someone please tell me that I am interpreting too much into this?!! We do have a 17 DC2 as well however I dare say that between the two of them he is probably the one who gets more attention from us. Is this just what toddlers say?
