I have a 5yo who has started saying ‘i hate you mommy/daddy’ when they are really upset.
Would you let that chill - they don’t mean it they’re just kids and just upset?
Or try to curb that - set consequences for hurtful language?
Personally I would shrug it off, as I know it’s temporary and said in anger. But I do agree with FryerDan that hilighting the nuance is probably a good idea.
