Will your son be a safe man to be around?

Will your son be safe to be around as a woman when he’s grown up?
Will he know how to channel his anger in a healthy way?
How much emotional regulation will he have?

How will your daughter handle her own anger? Will she suppress it?
How will she handle her others anger? Will she tiptoe around on egg shells to avoid rocking the boat? Will she explode herself?

These are REALLY important questions to ask ourselves as we raise our children.
Are we raising our sons and daughters to know anger, to be comfortable with it,
to know it will pass, to know how to love it through their body,
to know how to channel it in healthy ways?

What do you model? How do you relate to anger? Do you suppress and then explode? Do you have tools to move it through and out of your body?

There are different flavours of anger… frustration, rage, annoyance… and we’ll often say “I’m annoyed” when we really mean “I’m angry”
We attach so much to our emotions that we forget, or don’t realise, that they are not us. Emotions come and go like clouds in the sky, they don’t define us. BUT they can when they get stuck.
