Many parents believe that they have the right to get angry at their child. This is a common misconception about the Bible, that anger is a right among parents. Most parents today forget about the true meaning of anger, which has a legal meaning inappropriate for parenting.
Jesus Christ said in Matthew 5:21-22 KJV:
Ye have heard it was said of them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council; but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
"Whosoever shall be angry with his brother" means, in context, whoever is angry with another person, with "without a cause" specifying the proper place for anger - in the courtroom exchange. Under God's righteous judgment, a child cannot be put on trial for their misdeeds, with parents instead teaching them gently not to commit moral crimes against others.
The idea is to stifle anger as a parent whenever your parent anger flares up. Parents have certain triggers, and they are usually anger based. The idea is to do the opposite of your parent anger, and act kind and shamefaced in the face of feeling angry at your child, smiling when you want to lash out, saying "I love you, too" when your child says "I hate you".
The more you act as not angry, the less angry you will be. The best way to do this is by living by a code of silence, meaning whenever you feel angry, shut up and be silent in the Lord, presuming the best of intentions in your neighbor in every arena of your life. Do not say anything to your child if you don't have anything nice to say.
I myself use the same strategies, but with sexual aggression towards children as a pedophile, meaning I act the opposite of how I feel, and channel the feeling elsewhere. I myself would previously follow urges to flirt with young girls, which is a form of aggression when perceived as such by the child. I myself am rendered by my pedophilic desires to be unable to be angry with a child at all, but sex is an equally powerful drive, and if sex can be mastered by doing the opposite of your toxicity as an adult, so can anger.
The depraved and entitled parents will not inherit the Kingdom of God! Let them burn in the lake of fire and burning sulfur, suffering the second death for all eternity, suffering the fate of Satan himself as his accomplices! Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!
