Age regression tips

Make them a hot chocolate with all their favourite toppings (e.g. whipped cream, marshmallows, and a flake).

Bake with/for them, gingerbread is simple and festive.

Make them hot milk in their sippy.

Make them a comfy nest with their favourite teddies and blankets.

Encourage them to wear warm and festive clothes.

Take them for a walk to see local christmas lights or to a christmas event.

Watch a christmas movie with them.

Play some couch coop games while snuggled up together.

Sing christmas songs with/for them.

Christmas puzzles and colouringq!

Make the a stocking with lots of small gifts charity shops/thrift stores are great for this!

Please reblog this with more festive little space suggestions, thanks.

Older littles:

Build a blanket fort and watch your favorite movies

Buy bath tub crayons and when you bathe, draw pictures together

Go to build-a-bear and make the bear versions of each other

Play stuffie hide-n-seek ( the little hides a stuffie somewhere in the room/house and the caregiver has to find it in five minutes. If they fail, the little gets a treat)

Younger littles:

Play the color game! The caregiver shows them something and the little has to name the color! (One of my favorites)

The animal game: the caregiver lists out odd animals that most people don’t know the sounds of, and the little can make up what they thing it would sound like

Sensory games (seek future post for ideas)

Teachers/babysitters/anyone who works with kids who regress are valid

Men who regress are valid

People with non-childlike/non-soft features like lumberjack-beards or a lot of body hair who regress are valid

Adults and elderly people who regress are valid

People who are loud (angry and throwing tantrums, excited about their favorite things, generally just bouncing off the walls) who regress are valid

Hi there anon. You’re completely valid if you don’t want regression gear. Regression looks different for everyone, and you aren’t required to like something just because it’s popular.

Here are some ideas for things you can do without regression gear that might help you regress:

Playing on a playground

Listening to kids’ music

Cut your food into cute shapes

Playing video games. There are plenty of free browser games available

Draw or doodle

If you have a pet, you can play with them

Go outside and explore

Playing pretend (if you’re able to). @chompchompchu has some pretty good guides here

Watching cartoons

Printing out coloring pages or work sheets to color/work on

Act as childish as you want. It’s okay to be silly

Build a blanket nest/pillow fort

Try to make your own slime. You can find lots of recipes online

Go to the library and borrow some books

Make and play with some play dough

If it rains, you can go out and play in the puddles

Play with water

Watch videos on YouTube

Make your own playlists

Play with paper dolls. You can either draw your own or print out some from the internet

Make a small-themed moodboard

Do your hair in a cute way

Sing songs/nursery rhymes

If you want to regress to a really tiny baby/infant, @little-silly-bear has a post with activities here. Some of them require gear, while others don’t.

What would you do at an agere playdate? Add to the thread! Here are some things I'd do!

🪅 Color in coloring books together!

🪅 Watch cartoons!

🪅 Listen to calming music!

🪅 Build pillow forts!

💖 Go to the playground

💖 Coloring pages

💖 Build a puzzle

💖 Go to a zoo/amusement park

It has been brought to my attention that it can be quiet difficult for littles to regress and stay regressed while they are on their period. Which makes total sense, It can be a painful and scary experience for anyone but I feel especially for the little ones.

Here are a few things I hope help.

- Pain, Pain, go away..

Heat helps lots with cramping and can provide some comfort. You can use a long sock with rice in it (make sure to spray the outside of the sock with water! It can cause a fire if heated dry) a heating pad, warmsies are the absolute best (they are stuffed animals that can be heated) and you can also use a warm water bottle. Make sure it's kind of thick plastic so it doesn't melt.

For medication you can either try liquid ibuprofen or crush up pills and mix them with warm milk.

- Time to get comfy

It is best to be as cozy as possible when you don't feel good. Put on some soft pajamas, throw some more blankets on your bed to feel like your laying on a cloud, and get a biiiiiiigg arm full of stuffies

- Bath time

Don't be afraid of bath time, I know it's scary but I promise it'll be okay. It isn't super likely that you will make a mess in the tub but if you do it's okay, no big deal. Messes can be cleaned. If it's seeing it that you are worried about then colorful bath bombs and lots and lots of fun bubbles should help. Don't forget bath toys!

- Other bath room stuff

Now for the kinda yucky stuff. Instead of just toilet paper try using baby wipes. If you have diapers you can wear those or thick pads are similar. If you are in littlespace try to stay away from tampons because they can be pretty scary for kiddos.

- Nom noms

It is super important to to eat and drink right now. I mean it always is but you will feel so much worse with am empty stomach. Try to stay away from spicy foods because they can make your period heavier. Drink plenty of liquids like water and milk and green tea helps with cramps.

The first couple tips use heat and medications so please be careful. I love you guys very much and I don't want any babies getting hurt.

🎃 … aren’t able to dress up this year.

🦇 … are only dressing up covertly with family.

👻 … are home handing out candy.

🎃 … don’t have access to candy for yourself.

🦇 … can’t do anything regression-related this year.

you’re still a spooky little baby who deserves to have a small moment this october 31st to remember what it’s like to be a kid on halloween night. happy halloween, babies. [ 🎃🦇👻. ]

Hello all! This is now a new series that I will ~hopefully~ get to do once a week called Caregiving 101

This is to help inform new caregivers how to handle a little!

Please keep in mind the disclaimer:

Disclaimer: everything here is SFW! If you think I mean something nsfw I do not lol!

Okay and with that let’s talk about our first topic:

Punishments!

Now the reason I wanted to start with this is because it is the most ‘controversial’ in the age regression community. 

There are many ways to do this correctly but some incorrect ways of punishing your little is:

Ignoring them

Telling them to hurt themself

Taking a comfort object away or saying they can’t sleep with the comfort object

Hitting/slapping/spanks/etc

Gaslighting them

Refusing to listen to them

Calling them names

Yelling at them

Breaking there things

Too long time outs (as in leaving then alone with there thoughts for 30-40+ mins)

And a lot of others 

The reason why these are big no no’s is because regression comes from a place of trauma, these so called ‘punishments’ will NOT help and instead only cause your little to develop more trauma from the fear of being hurt or ignored. Especially with the physical ones.

Personally I don’t think you should ever lay your hands on a little so instead here are some ways to get your little to behave without causing actual harm

pushing bedtime a bit closer 

Lines - (like writing on a piece of paper 5 times a certain sentence - I do this one when I say curse words when small!)

No sweets for a day

No new stuffies for a month

Limited game time (depends ofc!)

Or even better just talk to them about what happened when there big. Not everything needs to be solved with punishments. Speaking of which you may be asking how do I know when I can and can’t give a punishment?

Well a few reasons to not give a punishment is:

they failed a test/failed a class/etc

They hurt themselves

They didn’t eat

They didn’t brush there teeth

They didn’t drink water

And a whole lot more.

There should NEVER be a punishment for things like this. It is important to understand the littles mental health.

Also know to Talk about it with ur little!! Not every caregiver has to have punishments! Sometimes we just need to give them a gentle nudge! It’s all about consent in the caregiving little friendship/relationship 

With that said, again punishment can be helpful if you do them correctly, reminder everything here is SFW only!

Your regression doesn’t always need to be ‘pure’ you don’t need to be ‘happy’ to be a ‘good’ regressor.
