To be worried - 6 year old says “okay you can kill me” when being told off

[Whisperingwinds]

So my six year old DD can be quite volatile and have amazing tantrums - she is perfectly behaved 95% of the time but doesn’t struggle to control /manage her negative emotions

So today we had a all out tantrum and after a while of being patient I lost it and told her she needed to stop screaming and back calm down - she then starts wailing sorryyy and say she okay you can kill me - this really took me aback and we never speak like that at home and I am not sure why she said it. She has tired herself out and slept off now - her tantrum today wasn’t much longer than normal and her saying that to me
Worried me too - AIBU to be worried! Help! She can be difficult to manage her when she is in meltdown mode and I have shared my concerns with a GP before and was assured it was all normal high spirited only child behaviour.

My 7 year old daughter comes out with very similar. She is very sensitive and gets very distraught when she is told off.

Do they watch YouTube etc? It’s so easy to pick stuff up via the hundreds of available shows etc these days. My mother was looking after my 7 year old niece the other day and my niece said “I’m so bored, please just kill me now. I might as well die anyway” and held her hands up. My mother was like

So if somebody genuinely does struggle with emotions etc, it can be even more difficult to filter what’s real and what’s copied!

So glad I’m not the only one with a dramatic 6 year old!

I love panicky Patric and sensible Sally! May be using this soon!
