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
