** these imagines assume the caregiver f/o is a romantic f/o.

They may seem cold and callous to the world, but they treat you with a gentleness they seem to have been saving for you alone.

Your caregiver is always touching you in some way (if you're okay with it). A hand on your back, an arm around you, even just leaning against you ... They're always at your side.

They may not baby-talk, but they speak to you with softness. Lots of: oh, my little one or what do you need, sweetie? or tell your papa/mama how you're feeling.

They're stricter with rules than others, but it's only because they worry about you, and they're always happy to help you. Need a sticker chart? Want them to set an alarm for you? They're there for you!

If you feel little in public, they know instantly and use their stoic/calm/intimidating demeanor to keep others from hurting you. They're so protective over you!

Paci kisses. Lots and lots of paci kisses.

Lots of kisses in general! In private, they're all about cuddling you and giving you kisses on your forehead, cheeks, top of your head.

Little smiles and gentle words reserved only for you.

While it can be really comforting and healing to have a caregiver or someone to help look after you while you’re feeling regressed, here is some ways to love and comfort your inner child on your own. (Disclaimer: these are things I have done that have helped me but may not work for everyone. If you have any suggestions, please add to this! <3) Have a chore chart/task list & give yourself rewards: Make sure you take into account what your daily lifestyle is and give yourself tasks that are attainable. These tasks do not have to be super “big” to be celebrated as overall you want these tasks to be beneficial to you mentally & physically. For example, some tasks that are included on my list are working out, feeding myself, having water, reading, etc. Learn to be proud of your accomplishments both large and small. Talk to/comfort small you: Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed/sad or having the best day ever, talk with yourself & praise yourself for the positive things you’re doing. Some examples of this include: “I know we’re feeling overwhelmed right now but we are doing great and I’m super proud!” “You’re doing your very best and that is what is most important.” “I know we feel scared but we’re okay, we’re safe, and we are going to get through this”

Find ways to include small you during the day: I’ve found that going about my day to day adult life can make small me feel neglected and it can make me sad. To avoid this, I try and find some ways to include that childlike part of myself into the day. Some ways I do this is bringing kiddo things with me to work (Disney princess cup, stimming toys for break time, etc), looking at the toy section when I go grocery shopping, picking a new stuffie to sleep with each night, coloring pictures/doodling in the evening, eating snacks little me likes, etc. Treat yourself as you would a kid/friend: This may seem a bit odd or confusing at first but in time it will feel like second nature. Overall, what I really mean by this is imagine you are caring for your younger self or a friend and act accordingly. Make sure you are feeding yourself, bathing yourself, allowing yourself proper rest, validating your own feelings, etc. We are often times are worst critic and for a lot of us who suffer with mental health issues (or even physical ones), we can be really harsh with ourselves when we are simply just doing our best and deserve to be cared for.
