I recently got fired for verbally abusing a coworker and punching the pole in the fitting room in front of customers. That was the first time I gone postal in a workplace. A preschooler who does the same thing in class would get just a time-out for the first offense. A four y/o boy who shot his babysitter for accidentally tepping on his foot was not charged. Had he been just a few years older, he woulda been. What’s unfair about this is that some adults have anger management skill of a child and to not cut them slacks just bc they ain’t children would be extremely unfair to them. They have tried their best to control it and didn’t want to explode like that. They just can’t help it. Why make them suffer worse consequences than children would?
Because children are young and are still learning. Once you reach a certain age you are expected to know how to control your anger and dispose of it in a healthier way. Like excercise or talking to a counselor. Also children don’t know what is right or wrong they are little. As an adult you should know the proper way to act in public. It’s just something that is expected.
why are children cut more slack for anger outbursts than adults?

Because adults know better.. or should
And if they are aware that they have anger management problems they should be mature enough to know that they need to get help.

By the time one becomes a legal adult, they are expected to have masted some self control. No excuses. Face up to your responsibilities here. What you did was wrong and you know it.
Also, a good parent does discipline a child who is out of control, they don’t excuse their behavior.

Because children are subject to an undisciplined nature, it is the duty of a guardian to teach the child right from wrong and the consequences of ill behavior. An undisciplined child grows up to be an undisciplined adult. Only through self control will we develop good habits. A four year who shoots someone is not held accountable because an adult allowed them access to a weapon. The adult should be charged with negligence. At some point in life the "Golden Rule" comes into effect. You know it’s wrong to do things to someone you wouldn’t want done to you.
