‘My six-year-old son often says he hates himself’ – The Irish Times

Question: My little boy, who is six, is an only child. He is very lovable, kind, intelligent, strong-willed, but he tends to lack self-esteem. He tends to self-loathe and often says he hates himself.

He doesn’t accept praise without putting his negativity on it. He gets so easily defeated too and says he feels sad a lot. We are a high-risk family and have been mainly home-schooling due to Covid-19. As a result, we are only slowly getting back into normal life. Unfortunately, he hasn’t had much social interaction in the last two years since the pandemic began.
