On a cold Friday afternoon last fall, my 8-year-old snapped. After losing a board game to his younger sister, he reached for the wooden block of knives on the counter and pulled one out. “That’s it,” he said through clenched teeth, “I’d rather be dead than play with her.”
My heart pounded. “You don’t mean that,” I said, forcing control into my voice. When I stepped closer, his face softened. He carefully returned the bread knife to its slot, then threw his arms around my waist. “I’m sorry, Mommy.” I held him and pushed the block out of reach.
