[quote=Anonymous]It's not OK to yell. The kid is probably yelling out of anxiety, but it's not an acceptable outlet for their anxiety. At that age, my kid with severe ADHD was not reliable with scheduling. Since my husband also has ADHD, I was/am the only adult in the family functional enough to make a family schedule and figure out Who Goes Where When with Whom in Which car, and to adjudicate last-minute requests and conflicts. My kid without ADHD, who is currently 14, is not 100% but is making rapid progress. So... your 14 year old still needs help, that much is clear. If she has ADHD and/or anxiety, she also needs meds and therapy. She also needs to understand that listening to parents is an actual thing that happens, and if it doesn't, there are immediate consequences, even if she yells and throws things. [/quote]
