In my opinion, the best punishments are the ones that suit the actions that require punishing. That way the consequences are directly related to the actions. For example, if your sub has a tendency to whine, then when he whines, not only does he not get what he wants and/or have to keep doing what he doesn't like, he's not allowed to ask again for 24 hours. If he's rude in his speech, speech restrictions (if he breaks it and talks when he's not supposed to, just don't answer, or gag him). If there are specific habits/behaviors that you are trying to either break or reinforce, then you may wish to outline rules regarding those behaviors. You can then either line up specific punishments to specific infractions, so that he knows ahead of time what he'll be punished for and how he'll be punished or simply have a list of potential punishments, and use whichever seems most appropriate (and you can make sure that the punishments actually sound like punishment to him, no sense dreaming up something that he enjoys, that defeats the point of punishment). I think you do need to have a chat with him about what he thinks is actual punishment. And I also am very anti-brattiness. If I want a beating, I can just ask for one, I don't need to do something I shouldn't just to get one. But for me, the worst punishment is hearing disappointment in Daddy's voice. The thought that I may have failed to please him, or worse, hurt him, is terrible.
