Silence keeps dysfunction alive. Speaking up is the only way anything will change. Your voice is a powerful tool. Believe in its power and use it.

When Children See Parents Lose Their Cool 💔

Children learn far more from what they see than from what they’re told. When a parent loses their temper at others — on the road, at home, or with people in service roles — a child isn’t just watching a moment of anger; they’re absorbing a model of how power, frustration, and respect are expressed.

Over time, these moments teach silent lessons:

That anger equals control.

That status defines respect.

That people with less power can be treated with less kindness.

Even if parents later explain or apologize, the emotion of that moment leaves an imprint. Children begin to mirror what they’ve seen — in their tone, reactions, or empathy levels.

But the opposite is also true: when children watch their parents handle irritation with grace, say “thank you” to a waiter, or show patience in traffic, they internalize emotional regulation and respect for others.
Remember, Children learn how to treat others by watching how we treat others. 💙
