I know for me I have to know the "why" behind everything; I always have ever since I was a little girl. I had a math teacher once who had to go allll the way back to Egyptian times to help me understand fractions. Poor teacher but once I knew the why I became a big fan of fractions and to this day enjoy doing them.</p><p>I believe more people want to understand the reason for a direction and good communication allows for that.</p><p>Thank you for your responses.</p><p>~His grace</p>His graceThu, 02 Oct 2008 12:55:40 -0000http://herowner.com/2008/09/27/how-to-train-your-slave/#comment-3085481<p>I know for me its more than understanding what is expected of me, I like to know the why behind it. Sometimes there isn't a why which makes the task more difficult for me because if it doesn't make sense to me I find it harder to remember and comply. When I understand it, I find that it is so much easier to integrate the task and comply with ease.</p><p>There are always little things that are "because I said so" but for the most part my rules, and directions have a reason behind them that allows me to understand. I totally agree that just dictating and punishing for non-compliance doesn't work. In fact I know for me this has the opposite effect, I become defiant and agitated.</p><p>I want to please, my goal is not to disobey and most infractions are unconscious which is when Master brings brings me back, grounding me and refocusing me on the task.</p><p>Respectfully,</p><p>Ms</p>Masters slaveMon, 29 Sep 2008 07:55:03 -0000
