To bring matters up when it's calmer or not to? With raising your children to be a certain way?

I've always been told to bring matters up when there's a calm at a later time, but life has taught me that bringing it up can still be explosive too! So when is a teachable moment?

Deal with things as they come up.
If you wait you punish your child twice !
First by displaying anger at point of problem and then bringing the subject up again when your child has gotten over it.

You are the adult and supposed to know better.
You know that children will make errors in choice and judgement.
You know that children will act without thought for consequence of their choices.
So illustrate point at the time
