ORIGINAL: angelic i may have missed something here, but if He's punished her... she already knows he wasn't happy. In my humble opinion, punishment has only made her feel more afraid, more insecure, more inadequate and less willing. Angelic, not to be rude, but did you read my posts? The very first part of my first post discusses using sweet tactics and not sour ones. The second post said "Well I agree with positive reinforcement, but if she's not obeying properly, she needs to be told so." I didn't say he should punish her, I said he should TELL her. And I also reiterated my agreement that positive reinforcement is the way to go. EmeraldSlave.. i didn't take anything you said as being rude.. i apologize if i sounded as such to you. i was merely saying that by being punished, she is well aware that He is unhappy with her and in my opinion, will not help. It will only make it more and more less desireable to her. Regardless of how much she wants to please him, her fear or lack of self-esteem comes to the forefront and prevents her from doing what she wants most, to please Him. i may not be reading enough into the thread, but it sounded very much like she pleases Him in every way but this one... and when she hesitates (out of fear of not doing it 'right' or lack of self-esteem)... she hesitates... she's punished (she KNOWS He's unhappy with her behaviour at that point). "Well I agree with positive reinforcement, but if she's not obeying properly, she needs to be told so." Nothing in the thread that i saw indicated she was not properly obeying... this is just a source of fear for her and in my opinion, should be approached in that way. just my opinion
