If as a kid you were punished for expressing anger, you’re gonna get super uncomfortable when your kid is expressing it. If adults paying attention to you used to mean trouble, you’re gonna have a hard time paying attention to your kid. But you can learn to deal with this.

If you feel upset about something a little child did, the part of you that gets upset is also a little child. You can’t get rid of it, but you can learn to love that child in you, hold space for it, and offer some perspective, so that you can do the same thing for your kid.
