The Power of Delaying Anger

When facing frustrating situations as a father, such as dealing with a difficult boss or misbehaving children, it is essential to pause before responding in anger. Seneca, an ancient philosopher, believed that delaying anger is the most effective remedy. Anger tends to exaggerate and exacerbate a situation, leading to regrettable actions. By taking a moment to let the mind clear, fathers can ensure that their anger does not worsen the situation. While it may be necessary to address the issue eventually, delaying the response allows for cooler heads to prevail and transforms the situation into a teachable moment.
