Always_Ask_Questions > Rambam writen in Deos that one should bend the other way trying to fix a middah. When you are affected by a bad middah, it is natural to you to try just to “decrease’ it without fully feeling the wrong of this approach. As you are already aware of the problems you had, it is imperative to you to err the other way towards chesed.

i am not getting what you are trying to say, is it that i should not even think of punishing my child if they ran in front of a zooming truck chas veshalom? if i would do that when i was young my mother would show me what i deserve, and believe me boy would she show me. so do i have to in this case too do the exact opposite and not even tell my kid what they did is bad?

just to correct your words, i dont think i was affected in any way by the way i was treated, i am 100% healthy and normal like anyone else. okay so i had a bit hard times growing up, thats all
