For me it’s if it won’t matter in 5 years it doesn’t matter now. Kept me from being a tyrant over things like leaving lights on and what not.

    Sometimes I get angry when my son doesn’t do something I ask him. In most cases the real reason is that I just don’t want him to get hurt. Like I will ask him to not climb on something and he does it anyway and the third time I’ll get angry.

    Anyway one piece of advice is that it’s really important to explain (and if necessary apologize). So I will explain I’m not really angry, I just really don’t want him to fall and hit his head or something. After you explain yourself your kid will probably understand you better and listen more.
