Caning

This section exists because really spanking and caning while both forms of corporal punishment are different and caning can follow spanking with a slipper and strap both of which I am subject to.
In my past life, the cane was something I had from around the age of nine at school and it or the fear of getting it often worked even though I wasn't disciplined in school much so it's a familiar thing.
My caregiver and disciplinarian likes me in a uniform most of the time as it really smartens me up and we both feel that's a good start to smartening up my attitude and approach to living as disabled adult-child so quite often it is the case I am  disciplined in uniform.

Caning is the ultimate sanction so everything matters from the way the cane is held purposefully as you are overseeing my preparation sending out a clear message of authority over me that you are in control and see this punishment is delivered without fail.
You will speak in a very assertive  matter of fact manner from the outset which may involve positioning me so you bare me or order me to take down my knickers myself so I am taking an active part in making it really sting. 

Depending on the setting it may involve bending over to touch  my toes or bending over a chair.

This is a more formal approach that I am more familiar with having a desk and studying where I've gone through the verbal warnings, had a spanking or two and now it is that your full authority comes out as disciplinarian applying in more regret and sorrow the cane as I did not pay proper attention to that and your last caution.
That first stroke as it whistles through the air sends a sharp message as you involuntarily express with a yelp the pain felt  from the second it landed on your exposed bottom knowing you have at least five more.
The cane was never really seen on the outset  of mentoring and caregiving in a pseudo-adult to child way as a thing we'd use much indeed it took a few months before we even discussed it so generally we don't use it as a go to.
It invokes memories from the past as it was part of school life although I didn't get punished a lot and freely accepted cos disabilities or not I knew the rules and the consequences even through some misguided people tried arguing I couldn't.
It's a held as a step if it is I have really shot through every other option available and as a reminder of the full authority they have when I really mess up.

We always discuss how I'm handled from any support I need, the guidance around conduct and behaviour given and how I am disciplined with love when I need it to help raise a more helpful, responsible and better behaved adult child me.
While I do not like being caned, I am glad it's always there in case I'm at the point I am just not responding to any other way of regulating my feelings an emotions not least if they impact badly on me or others I am with. It always was a tried and true method that worked with me so I'm happy it's back in my life.
