You're not always right. Teach and punish from a place devoid of anger. That isn't to say you shouldn't ever be angry with your kids, but rather that the important stuff shouldn't happen in those moments if you can help it. You might realize you were wrong before it's time to punish/teach. At the very least, you'll be more reasonable about it.
Sometimes your kids are going to be absolute shits. You'll be more pissed at them than you ever thought possible. They'll do something that you never would have thought them capable of. Remember, they're your shitheads. Don't defend them. Don't disown them. Teach them how to atone and clean up their messes.
