We all get stressed sometimes, and it’s easy to take it out on the people we love the most, like our family. We might be polite at work and patient with new friends, but at home, around familiar faces, we can lose our temper or get short with them.

Showing respect and care for our parents isn’t just about doing things for them or giving them gifts. It’s also about how we treat them and how we talk to them.

Imagine you had a bad day at work. Your boss yelled at you, and nobody seemed to understand you. Then your parents call to see how you’re doing like they always do. They remind you to take care of yourself. Instead of thanking them, you get snappy and hang up. How do you think that makes them feel?

We don’t mean to be mean, but sometimes we’re just thinking about ourselves. It’s important to remember to be patient and kind with our parents, especially because they love us no matter what.

Being able to control our emotions is important in all of our relationships, with friends, family, and everyone else.

If we can’t be nice to the people closest to us, where can we find support?

Let’s try to make our homes places that feel warm, loving, and understanding.

    Sure, it's a good reminder! But usually with our loved ones we feel safe to have such tantrums, just like kids do with us. It's not an excuse, we really should be kinder, but often times this comes from deeper, some sort of unresolved issues we might have.
