All emotions serve a purpose whether to teach, motivate, or reorient. However, it is not always best to act soley on the interests of emotions. Wisdom is where emotions overlap with rational thought. Most children act as though they are driven by emotions. Parenting is then the act of adding rational thought, to support the development of a wise mind. However, this leads to a repression of what emotions provide, and an absentence of wisdom. By pausing to reflect on what we can gain from emotions, we better our relationship with them.
