Dogen about anger and how to deal and practice with rage?

Thank you for this discussion. This is good information especially when dealing with a very frustraing, rebellious 16-year-old son! For me, stepping back is very hard, and sometimes even when I address the situation peacefully, this tends to anger him more. so challenging.

Teenagers can be a real challenge! I find it helps to remind myself, before I make any request, that there probably won’t be a simple “yes Dad that is no problem, I am happy to do or not to do that thing”.
