WHY CHASTIZEMENT

Chastizement is probably the most important part of a Little Girl's life here. The original name of the D'Arielle Ladies' Society was the D'Arielle Society for the Recovery of Wayward Girls. Later we started dealing in the prevention of waywardness. The most readily and easily used part of both prevention and recovery of wayward girls is chastizement. Next comes training, which uses some of the tools and methods of chastizement to demonstrate the importance of learning the proper things to do

Why?

Because All little ones need to be shown the difference between right and wrong. The best way to do this is to do something unpleasant when they do something wrong. Also we grownups know that difference so it is proper that we have the right to do to the little one whatever it takes to see to it that she learns it. The same applies to learning what one must do. like anser toher name immediately and without question or difficulty

It is fear-inspiring because the little on is, well, little and pretty defenseless against what a grownup can do to her. This is good since she will at least be afraid of what we can do to her and will respect us. Therefore the idea of being punished or chastized is ever-present in her little mind and will make her think twice in her dealings with us and make her pay attention to what we say

So we have punishment and chastizement

The difference between them is that punishment is given for what you do, chastizement, which comes from the word "chasten" addressed more of what you are; the kind of person you are for doing such a thing. Generally though, we call the whole thing "chastizement" since that sounds less harsh than "punishment". Also, when you think of punishment, you think of being spanked, we do not do that, we have other things we do. Beyond all of that, chastizement puts what you did to earn the particular things that are being done to you in a larger picture, buased on the kind of person you must be to do that kind of thing. If you lie then you are disobedient and gossipy, If you complain then you are whiney and babyish. So while the specific thing you did made us do what we do to you, we are treating you as the kind of person you are to have done it

These are in addition to the various kinds of training that we use, like name training, excerciae training and smell training, which also involve unpleasant feelings on the body to make sure that Little Girl knows how important these things are to us

To be sure, this is not our first resort. but the overwhelming majority of Little Girls mistake the gentle approach for weakness, indifference, laziness or not really caring. Also the great bulk of Little Girls are still self-absorbed and need to be brought out of that as quickly and sharply as possible and usually hugs and kisses do not reach the little one and are insufficiently strong to do the job and something unpleasant is needed
