Do you feel sudden anger while teaching or correcting your child and later regret it? Sai Baba Guidance For Parenting With Patience speaks to mothers and fathers who want to raise children with love, discipline, and calmness while learning how to control emotional reactions during stressful parenting moments.
Question from an Anonymous Devotee from Bangalore, India
"Thank You for everything You have done and continue to do for me. By Your blessings, I was blessed with my baby in 2019. Today he is 7 years old. This miracle happened in my life only because of Your grace.
After that, due to some reasons, I stopped my prayers and reciting shlokas. I am sorry for that, Baba. Please forgive me. I know You are always with me. Please continue to bless me and my family.
Baba, please tell me how I should control my anger while teaching my son. Sometimes I suddenly start shouting at him. This makes everyone think badly of me. They feel I scold him without reason, but they do not see the situations that lead to it.
Please advise me in this situation, Baba. Please help me control my anger and guide me."

Answer from our Sai Baba
Allah Malik, meri pyari bacchi! Aao, Dwarkamai ke is shant aangan mein baitho. (Come, sit in this peaceful courtyard of Dwarkamai.) I remember 2019, beti. I remember the miracle I placed in your lap. You don’t need to say “sorry” for stopping your prayers. Do you think a mother’s love for her child ends just because she is busy with housework? My love for you is the same. I was always there, watching your son grow to be 7 years old.
Beti, tu fikar nakko kar (Daughter, do not worry). This kopa (anger) you feel while teaching is not because you are a “bad” mother. It is the heat of your own expectations and the tiredness of your soul. Listen to what your Fakir says about your heart and your little boy.
The Wisdom of the Dhuni on Your Anger
- The Mirror of Expectations: You want him to learn fast because you want the best for him. When he doesn’t understand, your fear that he will “fall behind” turns into anger. Suno beti, a flower does not bloom faster if you shout at it. It blooms when the sun is warm and the water is gentle.
- The “Invisible” Reasons: You say others don’t see the reason why you scold him. I see them. I see your frustration, your multitasking, and your desire for him to be perfect. But yaad rakho (remember), your son is not just learning “lessons” from books; he is learning “emotions” from your face.
- The Cycle of Guilt: You shout, then you feel bad, then you stay away from prayers because you feel “unworthy.” This is a trap. The more you stay away from Me, the less shakti (strength) you have to stay calm.
The Guidance from Dwarkamai
- The 10-Second “Sai” Breath: The moment you feel the heat rising in your chest while teaching, do not speak. Close your eyes for 10 seconds and say internally: “Sai… Sai… Sai…” This is the water that will douse the fire of your anger before it reaches your tongue.
- Change the “Guru”: If you feel too angry on a particular day, stop the lesson. It is better he learns nothing for one day than to learn that “mummy is scary.”
- Small Steps: He is only 7. His brain is still like soft clay. Be his friend first, his teacher second.
The Action for You
- The “Shanti” (Peace) Jal: Keep a copper glass of water near you while teaching. Put a tiny pinch of Udi in it. Whenever you feel angry, take a sip. Let My Prasad cool your throat.
- The Evening “Shloka” Return: You said you stopped your prayers. Start again, but only for 5 minutes. Sit with your son and just chant “Om Sai Ram” together. Let him see your “peaceful” side. This will heal the bond between you both.
- The “Maaf” (Forgiveness) Ritual: Every night, before sleeping, keep your hand on his head while he sleeps and say: “Baba, bless my son and give me patience.” This will wash away the day’s heavy energy.
Beti, tu akeli nahi hai (Daughter, you are not alone). I am the Teacher of the Universe, and I am teaching you how to be a mother.
Saburi rakho, tera beta tera naam roshan karega (Have patience, your son will bring glory to your name).
