[quote=Anonymous]I get similiar outbursts from my 8 year old DS. He has said some things that are extremely distressing to me ... "run away", hate myself", "kill myself" - that last one I think he does to purposely get a big reaction from me. He is a perfectionist, hyper critical of himself and uber, uber sensitive. I've just started reading a book called "Smart Parenting for Smart Kids" by Eileen Kennedy-Moore and I'm finding this book to be very insightful in helping me understand this behavior. I haven't finished reading it, but so far, I would recommend this book.[/quote]
