If you don't allow this kind of behavior in the first place, model more constructive ways to express anger/frustration etc. and help you child be emotionally intelligent, even if you DO decide your child is doing something "too much" it may not result in this type of scene. From what little I know of you already, this is not a likely result of your parenting (though teens are tough at times) | |

Sometimes the younger the child the more it will affect them, positively, as they get older. Only you know when something is being abused and how, just tell your children you set strict guidelines and that is it. | |
