A Beginners Guide to Pyjama Punishment.

I was delighted to see that the well known respected expert Miss Helen Good had posted a comment on this blog. I post it now as an item as I feel it is very instructive on how to begin to mould polite, well behaved little boys. 


Dear Etta

Please accept my congratulations on your disciplinary methods.Young males always get ahead of themselves and by far the best way to deal with such behaviour is to return them to a state of reliance on mummy, aunty or nanny.It is important to remember that you must be consistent in the treatment of your, "little boy". There must be slackening of resolve on your behalf. I believe that once Jonathon realises that you are determined to enforce your methods rigorously he will quickly come to accept his new status.
Short trousers are excellent tools to use in such regressive treatment and any hope of a return to longs should be nipped in the bud. I always liked to have a special weekend visiting outfit such as a velvet suit that would comprise of an effeminate blouse, ankle socks and Mary-Jane strap-over shoes. This encourages the boy to embrace his smart, day to day outfit that you can make as childish as you wish. A similar approach must also be used to bedtimes. It is best to start with a very early bedtime, Jonathon is sixteen so I would give him a 6 pm bedtime seven days a week and remain firm. 6 pm would mean tucked in lights out. That way you have leeway to "reward" Jonathon with a 7 and eventually a 7.30 bedtime but go no later. You will find that he will become used to his early bedtimes and he will struggle to stay awake much past that anyway. The same is true with pyjama time and getting him ready for bed early. If you want to bathe him personally that is up to you, once again I used to bathe the boy when first beginning the regression and let him think he was "growing up" by later allowing him to bathe himself. It is important though to always maintain control of the putting on of pyjamas. Nothing better will indicate to Jonathon that he is your "little boy" that being put into his pyjamas ready for bed early. I used to aim for a two hour before bedtime pyjama time, so 4 pm would initially be his pyjama time before eventually settling at 5.30.Summer evenings are the best time to begin early pyjama time if possible.Jonathon will be mortified as you button him up into his pyjamas ready for bed when he can hear much younger children playing outside.

You could take him outside for a picnic supper with Jonathon cuddling his teddy-bear, perhaps a few of your friends could be present too, with you all sitting on picnic chairs and Jonathon sitting on the rug with a child's tea-set so he can play tea-party with teddy.

At his designated bedtime you could produce his potty, remove his shorts and let him go "wee-wee before beddy-byes" in front of everyone.

Then, much to his embarrassment you undress him totally and start to prepare him for his night-time nappying. As you are oiling and powdering him, he squirms in shame at his predicament and you have to slap his botty to calm him down.

You would tightly double nappy him and put him into tightly fitting plastic pants, the ones with the bunnies on. His nightshirt would swiftly follow as you place his head into the baby blue flannel garment emblazoned with teddy-bears just like his own teddy. "Peek-a-boo" you shout as his head pops out and his nightshirt cascades to the ground before you button up the three teddy-bear shaped buttons to keep him cosy in his bed. You pin his dummy to his nightshirt and offer the rubber to teat to his mouth, he takes it at once and begins to use it. The blue soother bobbing rhythmically in and out as it comforts his anxieties.

As you take his hand you announce, "Come along then, wave night-night to the nice ladies, it's time you were tucked up in bed."

As he is reluctant to obey, you, take his arm and wave it up and down, imitating an infantile action.You lead him indoors and up to his nursery which although thickly carpeted contains only a changing table and a cot. Jonathon wearily climbs in and you cover him with his favourite blanket as he hugs his teddy and continues to use his dummy.

Already, the sixteen-year-old's eyes begin to flutter with impending sleep and you gently kiss him nigh-night and look forward to another day when you can continue to impose your disciplinary technique on him, all of course for his own good.



Please continue with Jonathon's treatment and update his progress and don't hesitate to ask if you require any advice.
