I get rather animated when I'm angry or upset, but, I have to feel truly threatened before I act.
I hope I've taught my boys that controlling one's temper takes practice and patience, and oftentimes the patience one must have is with oneself.
I struggle with teaching teenage boys this concept, what with how horrible children are to one another these days. It's understandable that with their emotional immaturity, the tendency is to react first. I'm finding that redirecting the frustration they feel as they grow up is a daunting task, since,
Lord knows, it's been a hundred years since I was a teenager. And I had a different set of stressors as a teen.
*deep breaths*
I remember being a teenage boy (although that was decades ago) and feeling so damn angry for no reason or so incredibly sad with no explanation.
Having supportive parent(s) who can teach an evolving human how to act properly and channel all those crazy hormones goes a long way.
And even if they may not do so now, they will appreciate the effort and guidance later.
At least I know that I did.
