DISPROPORTIONATE DISMAY

[6b bottom] R’ Chisda: A person should be careful never to instill excessive fear in his household. A concubine at Giveah fled in fear and as a result myriads of Israel died.
R’ Yehudah quoting Rav: Whoever instills excessive fear in his household will comes to transgress three major transgressions (illicit relations, bloodshed, and Shabbos desecration).

Prac-T-cal Tidbits: We should always speak carefully and relate to the members of our household in a calm tone and a soft demeanor so as to have a peaceful home (that is also free of sin).
