My 4yo DS went through something similar recently, I had said "I love you" (As I do throughout the day!) and he said no, you dont, you dont need me... Just about broke my heart! He even said it to DP later that day, we both sat down with him and explained that we loved him very much (why?) and that we needed him, now we say "I love you, I need you" there was more to it, asking if grandpa loved him, if my parents loved him, etc, etc, then why?
It was kinda as if he suddenly realised that there was a possibility they didnt and he needed that reassurance from us (for a while pretty constantly) that he was loved and needed.
