If you had a dominant caregiver figure in your life how would you want them to treat you in your little role? Strict rules or more cuddly daddy type?
Sort of how you might guide a child. Gentle, loving, soft, but also can be strict if needed and have rules in place. If rules don’t get followed or broken, then stern talk or mini punishment like a time-out. I tend to lean for more soft cuddly types with a strict side, but not necessarily physically strict (spanking for example).
