Assalamu Alaikum Warahmatullah

Children are mischievous by nature. There is no point in getting angry with children when they are mischievous. They simply have to be controlled. However, if they do something wrong, foe example, speaking lies etc, then one should create an expression of anger in front of the child to discipline the child from bad and wrong habits.
