My son is almost 11 and when frustrated will yell that he wants to kill himself. We have an children's mental health team that we can call on. He knows that we get upset hearing him say he wants to be dead and it gives him "power" over us as we get upset. We were advised to ignore it and go on as if he said nothing.
