        "summary": "Fathers often unintentionally lash out at their children due to work stress, lack of sleep, and challenging behaviour. Recognising triggers and understanding that anger often stems from accumulated stress, rather than the child's behaviour, is crucial. Taking short breaks and prioritising physical and mental health can significantly improve a father's ability to manage emotions and respond constructively.",

In\nfact, a short pause can make the response much more controlled.<\/p>\n<p>Social worker Justin Gurland says that taking a break is an important\ntool for managing emotions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of the most valuable tools I\u2019ve learned is to stop for a moment\nwhen I start to feel anxious. That moment gives me the opportunity to\nrespond, rather than react,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>If emotions are already too high, taking a break from the situation\ncan be the best option. Scott suggests taking 10 to 30 minutes to calm\nthe nervous system.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTake a 10 to 30 minute break to calm down and come back when you can\ntalk constructively, rather than aggressively,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n<p>Gurland emphasises that maintaining physical and mental health has a\nmajor impact on how someone deals with difficult moments.<\/p>",
