Actually, I have a really nasty temper and sadly still do shit like that when I get really mad or frustrated, although for the most part I don't break things or injure myself anymore. I have, in the past, punched through walls and kicked/thrown things across rooms. The worst thing I used to do was take out my anger behind the wheel of my car, which was really scary (probably worse than driving drunk).

If she's young, she'll probably grow out of the worst of it, but not completely. One word of advice, DO NOT clean up after her when she breaks things and makes a mess in the process - make her do it herself. Cleaning up afterwards is one of the things that will slowly make her realize that controlling her temper is a good thing.

I started to learn to control my temper right after I got busted for assaulting a Petty Officer when I was in the Navy.
