[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 126444, member: 3626"] Part of it just the obnoxiousness of being 14. Such a charming age! Believe it or not, it will get better. A couple of suggestions. Can you give him his medications before it is actually time to get up? Kind of when he's half asleep? Then he can go back to sleep for 30 minutes or an hour and by the time he gets up, the medications will have kicked in. I've always had the attitude if you can't be respectful to other family members, then you need to be away from them. So, yes, I'd send him to his room. If he starts having temper trantrums in his room, explain you need to remove anything breakable so that he doesn't accidently damage them. It took me 3 years to figure that one out but it did work. The next time she had a tantrum as throwing things, I waited until she was at school and removed her TV, lamp, etc. and put them in storage. When she managed to go 3 months with just stomping and being verbal in her room, she got her things back. It doesn't stop the anger, but it did stop some of the behavior. Good luck and remember he will grow out of it, that's the only saving grace of teenagedom. [/QUOTE]
