More importantly however, you used your error in judgment to an advantage in a great teaching moment for your son. Telling him you made a mistake and were going to apologize for it, and then doing so made the experience actually one that turned out more positive for his becoming a good person than if it had not happened. You could talk to him about it if someone else had yelled, but having you do it, admit it, and apologize was much better for his learning and understanding how people should behave in our world. Good job in teaching your son!
