You're allowed to have emotions, and as a kid they're hard to mask or deal with. So letting your kid feel them and modeling how to deal with them is the right way to let them learn, rather than telling them they can't be angry and just having them feel guilty for their "wrong" emotions.

Yup. You're allowed to BE angry, but there are frequently times when you're not allowed to act like an asshole. The limit for the "allowed to act like an asshole" function over time approaches zero.

Unless you're in American politics or a CEO of a big company.
