Op here. I absolutely plan to talk about this further with him.

This morning, he was not dressed and it was time to leave for bus stop. I did yell to hurry after 5 minutes of asking nicely. He was upstairs for a long time not coming downstairs.

He is a very social kid. Has lots of friends. He is the social butterfly in our family.

I was truly shocked he feels he is emotionally abused.[/quote]

How often do you find yourself yelling at him.  Would setting a timer work for him instead of you reminding him.to the point you are yelling at him?

He's young and he probably had anxiety.  I bet in his head he only remembers you telling him once and then yelling at him.  The anxiety and being oversensitive causes him.to focus on the negative.  So you yell.  You get mad at his emotions and punish him for them (like the situation with his sister).  So hes making the connection with what was likely a very basic and broad description of emotional abuse.  [/quote]
