Tells me he hates me

My son is 4 and when I tell him not to do something, he swears and tells me he hates me! School have already told him about the word 'hate' but he's back to it again

I just need someone to talk to!

P.s hes not been diagnosed yet

  • Hi there,

    He is still very young at 4 and is still learning things he sees and hears.

    First thing first is speaking to him calming and explain why things need to be done in a certain way. My child is autistic and she needs continuous explanation slowly  and calmly. It takes me time to repeat and explain but it does work eventually. But what she likes more is for me just spending quality time with her and just playing about and listening to her even though her communication is limited but it helps and it builds a happier calmer atmosphere.

    Again study and see what he like to do, it could be watching kids programme, music, playing with a ball, football, playing toys or reading. Whatever it is share it with him and build a bond it will help. 

    Children really work better in an environment they can relate to and understands them. They will have their moments but it will minimise any uncomfortable moments

    I wish you well while you wait for him to be diagnosed.
