[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 474625"] If you suspect ADHD, have you taken him to a Child Psychiatrist? If you have read about depression in children like I have, one thing I noticed is that in children, because they don't have the communication skills yet, depression actually displays as anger, aggression, "meanness", etc. It could also be that if he does have ADHD and it is not being treated, his extremely overactive brain is on overload. OR it could be that he has simply found a new "interest" or has been around someone else who has this "interest". I guess I wouldn't be too concerned about what he is saying. If it does bother you, maybe you should calmly in a curious voice ask him "Where did you hear that one? I've never heard you say that before." Start a friendly, calm "fishing trip" to see if you can find out where this is all coming from. [/QUOTE]
