guilt for blowing up

I cane my children when they made me super angry, My husband is the moderator. He felt that they are just children and should not be caned. I was so guilty but later I hugged them and told them why mummy was so angry and many a time, they understood coz the acts they were doing, were dangerous. So, i think they must know that we care and love them and not anyhow be angry with them. I show them by hugging them and explaining.
