[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know a child like this. He hits himself/calls himself “bad” when he’s broken another child’s toy, misbehaved, been scolded, etc. IME he does this to to redirect adults into sympathy, as his parents’ immediate response is to console and tell him he’s a good boy. [/quote] Yes this is another theory and it is the theory that makes me angry because I feel manipulated. He does this exactly, calls himself bad when he does something wrong or he thinks we might possibly blame him. Also when we make him do things he doesn't want to do at the moment (random swim classes, practicing reading etc). Makes me feel like my options are either to have no expectations of him or end up with the self harm.[/quote]
