When we get mad, it is not a bad emotion. When we allow our anger to cause us to do something sinful, then it is not such a good thing. There is also righteous indignation. When we know someone did wrong and there needs to be justice. Taking matters into our own hands can cause us to lash out in anger. It is best to calm down and make rational decisions.
As parents, I think we can find it easy to lash out in anger when we feel that our kids are not doing what we want them to do. We get upset because they don’t do exactly what we want them to do at the moment we want them to do it. Having an authoritarian bent on parenting is not a good idea. Neither is being too lenient. If we don’t have ourselves centered before taking action with the kids, it is best to walk on and then come back to the situation. It is best to address any situation with a calm mindset. We may have been wronged or disrespected. It is never great to act out in anger.
