[quote=Anonymous]I have 10 grown nephews who are now productive members of society and rally nice guys.  I remember not really wanting to have a boy because I found it so hard to judge what was normal boy aggressive language at that age versus future psychopath behavior.  I distinctly remember more than one of them telling their younger sibling that they wishes they would die and I was shocked.  But they learned to handle their negative emotions and are truly wonderful people.  I’m not saying that it’s desirable behavior but it is within the realm of behavior for at least some children at that age, I think particularly boys because the content fed to them by society is typically so violent.  If a 13 year old was still saying stuff like this, I’d be much more concerned.  At 6, it’s an indicator that the child is struggling with dealing with emotions and that’s something you need to really help them with.  Some of those kids turn out to be wonderful people because they really do feel things deeply—they need to learn what to do with those feelings.  [/quote]
