[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The other thing to consider beyond the onset of puberty, is that thoughts fuel feelings which can lead to actions in sometimes a vicious cycle.  Whether or not your son has long term anxiety and/or ADHD, he might benefit from short term counseling to help him understand and manage his feelings.

Say something doesn't go his way at school or home.  He might get annoyed and stomp off.  But he keeps thinking about this "injustice," and keeps getting more angry, so instead of being able to address it in a constructive way, the path of least resistance is to throw things, etc.  He's escalating his behavior.

Executive functioning is affected by puberty alone, so what you're experiencing might be a relatively short lived phase.
