Patient's question:
On the weekend, I came home from working and asked if my child had finished his homework. I scolded him a bit, and he said, "Let me be beaten to death" and that he didn't want to live anymore. Then he didn't do his homework and took a nap. He said he had something to look forward to, otherwise he would have died long ago. I knew what he meant by "something to look forward to" was me.Doctor's answer:
Based on what you described about your weekend job and asking your 12-year-old child about their homework, I believe it can be preliminarily considered as caused by a strong sense of rebellion. This may reflect that your child may have already started entering the stage of puberty. Additionally, when parents interact with their children on a daily basis, they lack effective parent-child communication, which makes the child prone to strong rebellious tendencies when encountering issues, thus easily leading to the situation you described where the child explains your actions in that manner.
