Why should teachers refrain from using extreme language, such as “I’m dying of hunger,” around four- and five-year-old children?

Answer:

Teachers of four and five year old children should refrain from using sentences such as "i'm dying of hunger," because children so young could take the death part of the comment to literally, they are small children, and do not yet fully understand the concept of figure of speech or over exaggeration.
