Before, our elders would follow this teaching: talk about good news in the morning to lift the spirits. If there was anything serious that needed to be addressed, it should also be addressed in the morning. This is because after a full night’s sleep, we are still refreshed and in a good mood enough to take on criticism well.
There’s the condition, however, that anything serious or if someone needed to be reprimanded, don’t do it before bed time. Especially for your children, since they may be hurt enough run away for the night or have unrestful sleep.
