Putting a Lid on Parental Anger
I know you’ve never said this before, but I’m sure you’ve known someone who has exclaimed, “That kid makes me so mad!!” Anger is an emotion that all parents have experienced, yet parental anger that is expressed in the wrong way can be the most destructive emotional element in any home. Ouch. This week, the guys chat about putting a lid on parental anger.
Problem with parental anger:
- Things that we say and do that we regret are mostly done in anger
- Parental anger is the most destructive emotional element in the home
- Most anger is brought about by faulty thinking that is adrenaline induced.
- Albert Ellis ABC Model
- This is now we KNOW that nothing MAKES you mad.
- 90% of parental anger is sin. We sin, but don’t see God’s wrath
- We believe it’s justified. But it is never justified.
Solution to parental anger:
- Realize first response is your worst response
- STOP
- Stop and separate
- Tone down tension
- Open YOUR heart to God
- Present Christ to your child

About Dr. Jimmy and Josh Myers
Dr. Jimmy Myers served on staff at 2 Southern Baptist Churches for over 20 years in youth ministry, prior to founding The Timothy Center in 2001. As a licensed professional counselor and Owner/Executive Director of The Timothy Center, his daily focus is on helping others find God’s solutions to life challenges. In the many years of ministry to teens and their families, Dr. Myers’ experience has shown him that it is never too late to turn a family around. Dr. Myers has spent more than 25 years writing, ministering, and speaking nationwide on the subjects of discipleship, teenage life, and Christian parenting. He and his wife, Beth, are the parents of 3 children and their spouses, and proud grandparents to 6 grandchildren.
Dr. Joshua Myers surrendered his life to full time Christian service in 2000. Since that point the Lord has impressed on his heart a passion not only for people, but more specifically for the stories which they tell. It is that passion that directed Joshua toward Christian counseling. He has worked with a variety of ages and issues, and feels that the Lord has called him “for such a time as this” to minister to families.
Joshua has a passion for seeing the healing work of the Holy Spirit in the lives of God’s people. He is married to his beautiful wife, Katie, and they have the joy of being parents to three precious children, Ruth, JJ, and Sam.
