yeah its normal...kids at that age dont really know what they are saying, they hear stuff like that all the time not really knowing if thats how they feel or not. I think they are just growing into there own likes and dislikes.

I have a 6 year old nephew who went through a similar phase,when he was 3. Then when he was 4 he went through a phase where he wanted the opposite of everything everyone else wanted. For example If I wanted the door open he wanted shut.Children are constantly going through phases. I am sure that your son will be on to different phase soon.

Yes, Normal. It is called Individuation.. Read Erick Erickson Theory of development.
Psychosocial Stage 2 - Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt
* The second stage of Erikson's theory of psychosocial development takes place during early childhood and is focused on children developing a greater sense of personal control.
* Like Freud, Erikson believed that toilet training was a vital part of this process. However, Erikson's reasoning was quite different then that of Freud's. Erikson believe that learning to control one’s body functions leads to a feeling of control and a sense of independence.
* Other important events include gaining more control over food choices, toy preferences, and clothing selection.
* Children who successfully complete this stage feel secure and confident, while those who do not are left with a sense of inadequacy and self-doubt.

Well that all depends it could be a phase or it could be something else . i suggest talking to him and seeing what is wrong. just watch him ok. Crazing things happens in this world . But i'm sure it's just a phase .

Just a phase. At this age, they're testing their boundaries & limits and experimenting with different things, including concepts and ideas. Just be careful at this point - he will try to start testing YOU next!

It could just be a phase but to be on the safe side take him to a behavioral specialist

It is either just a phase and hopefully it doesn't last long or he can be bi-polar. Good luck in this.
