“Why would you cook this dish when you know I don’t like it?” Bilal shouted at his wife as he sat down for dinner. From the kitchen, she explained that she had been helping their son with his maths homework because he needed her guidance to understand the assignment. It had been a hectic day for her, balancing household tasks and her child’s needs. But Bilal was not satisfied with her answer. His face grew tense, and in frustration, he banged the table. The sudden noise made the spoon slip from his son’s hand. Both mother and child froze in fear as his voice rose higher, and a plate smashed to the floor.
This was not the first time. For ten long years, his wife had quietly carried this burden of anger and harsh responses. But for their nine-year-old son, the wounds were new and raw. In just sixty seconds, his heart broke in silence, leaving behind invisible scars that may last for decades. The sound of the plate shattering was loud, but the sound of his young heart breaking was louder still, though no one could hear it.
Moments like this do not simply disappear. They shape a child’s world, teaching him that anger rules when preferences are not met. He may carry this lesson into his own education, relationships, and future family life. A single outburst can echo for generations.
We often forget how powerful our emotions are. Anger can damage trust, break confidence, and plant fear where love should be. Parents must realise that children learn not only from what we say but also from how we act and react.
Our comfort should never come before our child’s wellbeing. Choosing patience and calm is the truest strength and the only way to apply emotion wisely.
