Extremely violent language constantly from a 4.6 year old boy - weird?!

[EggsOvaryZee]

DS 4.6. Adores Superheros and all that type of thing. Watches TV and cartoons, but has never seen a live action film EVER, except 'Enchanted'.
ALL DAY his language is really, really violent.
Everything is "I'm going to kill you" or insults of Poo-Poo head or Big Fat Tummy head etc...but that's not as bad as the rest of it - to his 3 yr old sister, "If you do that again, I'm going to smash you in the face/throw you out the window/cut your head off/stab you in the eye" - now, I have explained it's not nice, will hurt people's feelings etc...and of course, just plain gone mad at him but it makes no difference.
He has been doing this for over 3 months now. Even when he's in a good/happy mood, it is still the same.

Any suggestions, or similar experiences please?! It really is doing my head in!

I feel your pain! My DS of 4.6 is the same. I recently caught him chanting "kill her, kill her" as his friend locked his sister in a cupboard. DS was duly bollocked but not sure it had much effect.

I think this is just what 4 year olds are like I'm afraid. I am just trying to remind DS to talk nicely and hoping this phase passes soon.

pepperoni my primory/aged children have been singing,a song called ime going to kill you,the choris is as follows,,,ile break your arlms and leggs and make it so you begg, for me to stop the pain ,,think again.This ,,,,song ,,,was tought in our local primory school . No wonder kidds use this this language from a young age

That's the last time I let the dog type a posting on MN!

I have a lovely, cuddly, affectionate almost-five year old. He told me yesterday his favourite toys were guns and swords "because they kill people".
Glad to see this thread!

my dn was like this, he would have very bizzare conversations with my ds about made up senarios ov violance at home he would insist where true. however he very rarely acted this out outside the home at nursery etc. He does at 5 still have some problems regulating his temper but he is fine at school. He does have the influence of very older brothers and is very easily influanced. My ds reverted to removal of all superhero and wrestling toys, guns, swords etc when things esculated and reminded him fantacy things he has seen are of course not real. she would use naughty step ect and these helped limit but never stop this type of talk.

I think some children are like this, maybe boys are influnced more I have no idea why, but it does seem far more common for boys to bhave like this than boys. My ds would worry he had some thing psychologically wrong with him, but of course he does not, he is a well adjusted lovely little boy who just has a very wild imagination. i think you just need ensure consitant discipline as well as beeing pretty sharp at sensoring what he is exposed to, more so that other children who are not as easily influenced as he is.

My ds is 5.5 years and since starting primary school talks like this. I was really shocked initially but think it is quite common as a lot of the mums with similar aged children have said their ds and one dd do it to. I don't rise to it now and tell him quite calmly that we do not talk like that in this house etc etc hoping the phase will pass soon as goodness knows what the childless neighbours must think when he is in the garden shouting at the top of his voice

Ds was giving a name to something tonight (a butterfly iirc) and he announced that its first name was Guns its middle name was Swords and its surname was Cuddles

My 5yo ds has been saying things just like this since starting school. He has picked it up at school, along with the any stick is a gun etc.

I think the worst thing my girls picked up from school was when dd2 called someone a "pig". Once.
