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.

But you just let her unleash them on you. You tolerated her being rude to you, which she knows is acceptable. Who else has she slammed a door in the face of? Did they deserve it? Do you know? Of course not, you aren't with her 24/7 anymore, nor should you be. That's the point.

No, I didn't. She slammed a door, not me. And no, I don't tolerate her being rude to me. I do know. She is either here, at school or at her best friend's house. She is exceptionally polite and the school has actually put her in assertiveness and confidence building classes.

Art of some form would also help with that. Be it drawing, knitting, carving or pottery. Bringing your ideas into the world can be a wonderful confidence boost to anyone, but especially a child.

She has no interest in this and I will let her spend her limited free time on what does interest her.

I'm not ordering you to do anything, I'm simply saying that there could be something creative out there that she might enjoy that could help her build confidence in herself.

And believe it or not, I'm aware of this.
