Can a 6 year old be a hypochondriac?

Secondary gain?: Children express physical complaints for a variety of reasons: a true ailment, worried about school bullies, parent's marriage, etc. If I have a headache, stay home from school, watch tv, have mom to myself; being sick can be rewarding in itself. Nurture your sick child, but restrict 'fun activities' like video games discuss your concerns privately with dr.
