Recently, I have concluded I am such. I understand the general concept, but Im more along the lines of not wanting to have to harshly punish my little. But say her behavior gets out of hand? What are ways to softly get her back on track? Id rather not be walked on when I enter a relationship. I am very dominant and will assert myself, but what is the proper way to discipline a wild little?

When I'm being a butt but I am not really really being an booty my daddy will administer a quick, gentle swat to my rump. This asserts that I said something wrong, but that he is not super mad about it. If he was mad, we'd have a much more in-depth talk.

My mommy has been known to punish quite severely when her littles break rules, so she would not likely talk things out like my daddy would. When I've gotten into trouble with her, however, she has made me write short essays and the like. It's not meant to hurt me, but it definitely is meant to assert dominance because she asks me to do it and I cannot procrastinate about it.

Honestly sounds like you need to have an adult talk with your little about expectations from your relationship. If you're punishing in a way that she does not want but is being too shy or not open with you about what she wants/needs from you then that's not good.

Its not shyness, its outright rebellion. Her norm personality is quite childish as well.

I dont think its gonna work out, so weve already ended it. Thanks for your support

From what I have learned, Littles want attention. They need it. Daddy has the need to give that attention to her. He desires to give it as much as she longs to obtain it. Often times she will act out in an attempt to get your attention. Any attention is better than no attention. DDLG is a high maintenance scenario, often requiring 24 seven care. There is going to be a lot of learning during the relationship. To softly discipline you're little? That would be on a case-by-case basis depending on the person. I dated a little one time and it was the best experience ever. She required me constantly, and I loved it. Sometimes I would just give her a look and that's all it would take.

:pacy: I prefer the softer punishment, dont raise your voice by take them by the hands and talk about why thats bad. Taking toys away or time outs are a good way too, its better than physical punishment and yelling. Try giving more serious warnings before actual discipline too. Little space can be tricky and harsh discipline can give your little one sub drop. :sadno:
