How many of the times that we lose it with our kids and react in anger at their behaviour and decisions are based on our fears for their future?

I have started to reflect on how much the way I react and discipline my kids is due to the fact that I am fearful of what and who they will become in the future. There is nothing wrong with having expectations and aspirations for our children and setting boundaries, quite the opposite, but how mush more effective would we be as fathers if we remained calm and more objective in certain situations?

I don't want my fear of the future, rob me of peace and building positives memories and connections with my children, nor do I want to miss the opportunity to teach essential lessons in a calm, collected and effective manner.
