Tonight, he and I are snuggled up in bed and he’s trying to negotiate with me to stay longer. Then he says “if you don’t stay x minutes, I’m going to get a kitchen knife and stab you in the head and kill you.”

My son is 6 and diagnosed with combo adhd and anxiety. He currently takes cotempla to help with focus at school. He has a nervous system that “is on fire” and is constantly in a state of fight or flight. He sees an OT and has done talk therapy. The only screen time he has is a family movie night 1x a week (we watch Disney animated movies) - no video games, no iPad. He does swim team and plays outside for hours every day.

Should I be concerned or is this something 6 yo boys say?
