7 Year old hates himself

by Bri329, Oct 21, 2009 07:15PM
My seven year old tell me he hates himself and want us to take down pictures of him because he doesn't want to look at them.  This is often said when he disagrees with me.  Tonight he didn't want to take a bath and I explained that he had too. Began to cry for an hour and a half.  He has a brother 5 and a sister 1 1/2.  He's great in school and it sport and his a lot of friends.  Should I be concerned about his statements?

Perhaps a good idea to give him a choice of time ror his bath, ask him do you want to take a bath now or after Dinner, would it matter a lot if he chose the time ? Why did he tell you he hates himself what happened prior to him saying that , does he get as much attention as his siblings as he may be feeling left out, get his Dad playing one to one games and outside activities with him.Focus on his positive side and praise him when you see him do something right .Good Luck
