My son is 6, 7 in November. I find him quite a challenge but love him dearly. We have similar personalities and clash a lot, resulting in arguments (I argue back as he drives me to the end of my tether) and tears on both parts usually, I’m trying to address this as I know I’m not helping matters. I think he has low self esteem and just recently (last few months) he has been saying he wants to die, to kill himself, it’s the only way to end this. He says he’s so stupid and just wants this to end. It’s very upsetting and I don’t know if this is something I should worry about or if it’s normal and a cry for attention (my mum thinks it’s attention thing). How can I make things better for him? Thanks for any advice.
