Deep dives
The Destructive Nature of Anger
Anger is a destructive and deceptive emotion that rarely leads to positive outcomes. It blinds and deceives us, making us betray the trust of our loved ones, especially our children. Reflecting on the end of life, no one regrets getting upset or being overly critical towards their kids. Instead, they feel remorse and wish they had shown more self-control. Even if the issues were important, there is always a better way to address them.
The Importance of Regret-Free Parenting
When it comes to parenting, we rarely regret displaying anger towards our children. Losing our temper leaves us feeling guilty and wishing we had acted differently. It is essential to pause and consider if we would ever look back on those moments of anger and be glad that we reacted that way. The truth is, we strive for better relationships with our kids, and anger does not contribute to that. Instead, we should prioritize finding healthier ways to communicate and resolve conflict.
Imagine you’ve come to the end. You’re leaving this world, leaving your kids behind. Or worse, more unthinkably, your kids are leaving you. They’re off to college. They’re moving across the country. Time or distance or conflict separates you. They’ve been in an accident. You’ve both lived to ripe old ages, but they go first.
