Punishments can be a difficult topic to approach. There needs to be an honest conversation about limits and what punishments are comfortable for all parties involved. Don't forget that doms have limits as well, they may not be comfortable with spankings even if their little is. There also needs to be a discussion about how and when punishments will happen. Try to have clear rules with clear punishments for disobeying. It can be very stressful for a little to be unsure of the rules and spend time worrying about if they're being bad or not.
What NOT to do as a punishment
Take away a comfort item, a lot of littles can't handle being away from their comfort items and having this as a punishment will do more harm than good.
Yelling, this makes a little scared and they often won't accualy hear what you are trying to say. Talking in a firm voice gets the point across much better.
Excessive physical punishment, cutting or hitting, this should never be an appropriate punishment hitting a little other than a spanking is wrong.
Take away nap time, this will often make a little bratty and it messes up their sleep schedule.
Ignore your little, for littles with depression and anxiety being ignored is one of the worst thing you could do to them.
