Management by Exception

What you, fellow disciplinarian, will want to do is called “management by exception”. In other words, create a situation where behavior patterns are logical and natural and any exception stands out quickly. If she is to use a certain type of make up only, you can easily and quickly spot offenses and deal with them. If she has a clear budget, unauthorized spending is clear and easily dealt with. In other words, by all means create a situation that is absolutely clear to your property and easy to manage on yourself.

Rules and patterns should be clear, enforcable and open to one explanation only. Anything else will only cause confusion. You do not want your protegée to have to deal with interpretation. THAT is your area. Hers is to be obedient and clear rules will help her greatly. And another helpful hint: make it clear that offenses will be dealt with, but do not set standard punishments for offenses. The reasons for these are these:

♥ You do not want to create a “pay off” situation, in other words, create a situation where your protegée can pre-calculate the price for her offense. If you do so, you will only create a situation where – in many cases – she will simply break a rule and accept the consequences if breaking the rule is appealing enough and – in her mind – the result of breaking the rule weighs up against the potential price she has to pay. Do you see the point? By pre-setting punishments all you do is put a price tag on offenses, thus making the offense more attractive, rather than less. Like in Disneyland, the attraction will have a price.

♥ Offenses should always be placed in context. Let me use an example again. Eating for comfort is a problem, many ladies have. Let us assume the standing rule is: no chocolate, unless permission has been granted. Now, if your young lady resorts to this forbidden fruit because her sugar levels were low, that is still an offense but not as serious as that same offense, but committed because she felt stressed. Hence the same offense – because of the reasoning behind it – calls for a different type and intensity of punishment.

Finally this: individual rules should contribute to the overall plan – the end goal you want to achieve. In the early stages of the education especially, you will to have very few rules, but at the same time you will want to see these rules obeyed, thus getting her acquainted with the fact that there are rules and that she is supposed to obey these. So you want to opt for simple, yet effective rules and you will want to explain their purpose. At a much later stage in the education the young, now much better trained, lady with a much better understanding of the situation, will be able to make judgment calls and in many situation will act in the way, she knows and understands her Lord and Master would want her to act.
