My daughter is a typical 6 yr old in that she has her moments where she needs to be corrected, but generally is a good child. Personality wise, she is strong willed and not shy about getting what she wants, but she is very sensitive also. On two separate occasions, when she is in an accident situation (most recently, she heard my wife slip on the stairs and fall- thank God not hurt), my daughter immediately wants to get involved. In the process she begins to cry (normal response) and proceeds to say that she wishes it was her who hurt her knee (while hitting her knee with her hand) and saying that she is stupid and wants to die (very concerning to me). She than says she wished she would fall and hit her head open so that she would die. After we calmed her down, and tried to talk through the rational of her comments and feelings- she said she had no feelings and she does not feel anything. From a parent and human perspective, you never want to hear someone say these things- especially your child! My concern is that I don't think this is a normal response, but this is our only child so I am uncertain if this is normal. Is she just trying to express her feelings and concerns for Mom slipping and does not know the right reaction to have, or is this something which needs to be addressed with Dr.?
