      You tolerate door slamming? Neither I nor my spouse do, I wouldn't recommend it either. It's disrespectful to you, or whomever gets the door slam.

      Yes. Appropriate display of anger. On inanimate object that is unharmed rather than on people. I have also been known to bang doors when cross. Usually kitchen cupboards.

      And does it escalate to throwing things next? Where's the line when rude & destructive displays of anger are tolerated? Is cursing at you next? You've already shown a tolerance for rudeness. Why shouldn't she?

      She knows where the line is. For us, slamming her own door is on the right side of it. Being abusive or violent to people is not. I don't want to have to stop showing anger when I feel it and feel directing it an inanimate objects in her own space is appropriate.

      This is what we've always told her, anyway. There's nothing wrong with having feelings only with unleashing them on others. Take them into your own space, throw your own stuff around. Come back when you're calm and ready to be around people again.

      That also enabled me to go and have some calm down time when I felt at risk of losing my temper with her.

      And this I understand more than you can know. I have three girls. Each is almost 2 years apart, & the middle is autistic. There were many times I had to put them in their cribs and go outside. I understand that, and don't think less of you for it.

      But as someone who went from slamming doors, to kicking doors, to throwing things to putting holes in walls, with escalating abuse towards others, I'm wary of any violent display, especially one allowed in a child during their formative yeas.

      Well, I don't think I need worry. Psychiatrist recommended punching pillows and things. Seemed to think that was OK.

          Ours recommended art, the occupational therapist did to. It's a little expensive to invest in, but it's so worth it. I recommend it to everyone bc it can be both constructive & destructive. Make something of your anger, destroy it to be rid of the anger. Two birds, one stone.

          It would just be a burden to her. She hates art so much. I'm much happier for her to do sport which she enjoys and have lots of animals which she also enjoys.

          And sports are equally great for getting out the emotion in a healthy way. Sports also have the constructive/destructive dynamic, and also build confidence magnificently.
