🧸 1. Create a Safe Space

Find a private, quiet, and comfortable place.

Use soft lighting, cozy blankets, and items that feel safe.

If you have a caregiver (CG), let them know you're regressing. (If possible! some littles may be nonverbal <3)

🎨 2. Gather Comfort Items (Optional but Helpful)

Stuffies/plushies

Blankets or pacifiers

Sippy cups or bottles

Snacks (like applesauce, juice boxes, goldfish crackers)

Toys, coloring books, or sensory items

🎧 3. Choose Comforting Activities

Watch cartoons or kids’ movies

Color or play with toys

Listen to lullabies or soft music

Nap or cuddle with a stuffed animal

Use kids' apps or games

Talk in a childlike voice if it helps

🫧 4. Let Go of Adult Worries

Try to mentally "put away" responsibilities

Use affirmations like: "I am safe." "I don’t have to worry right now." "It’s okay to be small."

🛑 5. Set Limits

Set a timer if you have things to do later

Avoid regressing in unsafe or inappropriate environments

Practice self-care after regressing — drink water, reflect gently, and ease back into your usual mindset

Optional: Journaling or Memory Triggers

Some find it helpful to keep a regression journal or make a playlist of comforting songs, shows, or smells that help trigger the regressed mindset.

⚠️ Important Notes

Please keep an eye on yourself; keep safe when regressing.

Remind yourself: “It’s okay to need comfort.” There’s no shame in wanting to feel little or cared for.

You don’t have to “act like a child” — regression is about your internal experience, not outward behavior.

carer with a traumatized age regressor they know they're helping to heal everytime they slip.

never received toys/were given very few toys as a kid? bubbas spoiling you in all the toys you want! if their kiddo is a little more shy and feeling guilty, they'll notice their little one eyeing a toy. "do you want it puppy? no need to feel bad, i just wanna give you everything you deserve"

went without food in public? carer will always order something for you, you never have to watch them eat while you have nothing. "oh honey I would never~ not only is that mean, but you gotta grow big and strong like me!"

went without food/snacks in private? your caregiver always makes sure they stock up on your favorite snacks and brands- no matter how specific they are. there's no shame in only eating a certain brand or flavor of chips. there's always groceries in the house and they're happy to cook for you, wanting to make sure you're safe AND fed. "are you hungy? I can get my sweetheart their favorite snack until the pastas done?"

had bad physical treatment? they would NEVER even THINK about laying a hand on you. if you misbehave or act up, they understand you're just in littlespace. like real kids, emotions can be hard and some moments arent good. sometimes kids like to test boundaries, there's nothing wrong with that. they won't let it slide and will issue lines, time outs, and stuff like early bedtime or shorter playtime- but nothing physical or mentally damaging. "angel I know you're all upset and shouting at bubba, but I need you to sit in the chair for 5 minutes. we don't yell."

missed out on a lot of childhood experiences? that's okay! your cg is soooo happy to integrate anything into their routine. whether it's storytime, going to the park, holiday celebrations, they're happy to accomodate! "oh you wanna have a bubba baby book read before your nap? of course little one!"

touch starved and wanting a lot of physical affection? they'll love on you SO much to try and make up for it! cuddles, pats, carries, boops, you got it! "awww does munchkin need a hug? cmere"

weren't treated the best emotionally? they understand how it can impact you. your carer always reminds you that you're not a burden, it wasn't your fault, and they truly do love you. they're not lying to you, they don't hate you, there's no maliciousness or ulterior motives- just pure love and care. "I know it was a lot, and I'm sorry you had to live through that angel- but I'm glad you're with me now. As long as I'm here, and as long as you'll let me- I won't let anyone treat you like that again. I pinky promise, my little love. Always, and forever."

tw: no explicit mentions, but implied abuse

My (future caregiver) mommy is watching a boring grown up show on the tv and I'm sitting on the floor giggling n making noise as I'm playing with my toys near her. Although it can be heard with her show, she's not mad. She simply smiles and understands I'm an itsy bitsy kiddo and it's normal n okay for me to make noise in play

Me not understanding something/a concept and she takes the time to break it down for little me to understand. Very calmly and without insulting me or my ability.

Having big girl feelings when tiny and her helping me regulate them, even if they aren't expressed in good ways. Like throwing toys, harmful self stims, kicking. She understands kiddos can struggle with feelings and tells me that what I did wasn't a good way to express them, and helps me do healthier ones instead

My mommy being busy doing big girl work but I interrupt asking her for food cuz I hungy. Although her focus on the work is needed, she understands I'm tiny and can't cook safely/properly for myself and takes a break to make me lunch before resuming. She would never want me to be helpless and without food.

♡ tips for littles without a cg༅

♡ self-made reward system ──୨ৎ── set up small rewards for yourself!! so when you do something like finishing a coloring page, drinking enough water, or cleaning your room you can reward yourself! some ideas can be using a sticker chart, having a little box of treats, or scratch off cards! you can make those yourself and put them into a box and pick out one and scratch it off to see your reward!༅

✂ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

♡ regression box ──୨ৎ── prepare a box with stuff like snacks, easy-to-use utensils, little clothes, and comforting items so you don’t have to struggle with decision-making or getting things when regressed!༅

✂ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

♡ caregiver substitute ──୨ৎ── give a stuffed animal the role of a “caregiver substitute”! talk to it, bring it with you, do little activities with it like reading a book, etc!! it can just watch over you as well!༅

✂ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

♡ fictional caregiver ──୨ৎ── you can pick a fictional character that you find comfort in and make them your caregiver!༅

✂ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

♡ self encouragement letters ──୨ৎ── write a short, kind message to yourself in a playful or nurturing tone, when your big to little you!༅

✂ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

♡ digital little space ──୨ৎ── create an “agere corner” on your phone, like a folder filled with cute apps/games that bring comfort!༅

✂ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

♡ asmr ──୨ৎ── asmr can be really helpful! there are many that are just babying and some made just for agere! just search for it on youtube and find a video you like! there are bedtime story ones too for when you dont have anyone to help tuck you in༅

✂ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

♡ regressive journaling ──୨ৎ── make a little journal using crayons or stickers! and instead of big longg word entries, try drawing emotions, scribbling thoughts, or using stickers to make a story!༅

♡ struggling to regress?༅

here are some methods that might help!

♡ sensory matching method ──୨ৎ── focus on connecting three senses that trigger regression! soooo if a childhood cartoon made you feel little, pair it with a scent that gives the same feeling and a texture that also has that comforting feeling, such as a soft blankie!༅

✂ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

♡ familiar senses method ──୨ৎ── focus on nostalgia and familiar comfort items! get a childhood snack, set up soft and gentle lighting, and surround yourself with things that bring warmth and nostalgia! regressing often comes easier for many in an environment that feels familiar & safe!༅

✂ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

♡ baby steps method ──୨ৎ── focus on starting slow and building up little activities! so instead of trying to force it or jump right into it, slightly like the first two methods, start slown! start with a small, soothing action like hugging a stuffie or putting on cozy socks! then maybe surround yourself with familiar regression cues like a childhood show then dim the lights & grab a comfy blankie! once you feel more at ease maybe do smth like coloring or playing with toys!! so this way you slowly feel more relaxed instead of pressured to regress quickly!༅

✂ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

♡ storytime method ──୨ৎ── read a short children’s book or a calming fairytale out loud or listen to an audiobook with a gentle, nurturing voice to help shift your mindset!! there are also asmr videos of people reading children books!༅

✂ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

♡ ritual method ──୨ৎ── repeat a small comforting action every time you want to regress!! maybe it’s putting on a specific cozy outfit, turning on a soft dim or colored light, having a certain drink, or hugging your favorite stuffed animal! associating an action with regression can help over time!༅

✂ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

♡ regression playlist method ──୨ৎ── make a special playlist with songs or lullabies! i like to play disney songs!༅

✂ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

♡ soundscapes method ──୨ৎ── if music doesn't work for you instead of music, try listening to sound effects that mimic childhood nostalgia! so things like playground noises, soft rain, wind chimes, or toy store sounds, whatever works for you that you can find!!༅

again if u feel ur regression doesnt fit nto these ur still so lovelii nd valid <3

The little urge to feel completely comfortable being little and actually be treated like I’m just a tiny kid

The little urge to be pulled around in a little red wagon while I point at all the pretty flowers and say “woaaaahhh” like I’ve never seen it before (even though we just passed 10)

The little urge to be comfy enough to regress around a group of friends (but not leave my cg’s side because how scary would that be!)

The little urge to watch Bluey with my paci in after a long day with some much needed cuddles because it’s such hard work being just a little guy (trust.)

Basically, the little urge to be little

sometimes it can be hard to regress on purpose. here are some things to try that might help make it easier!

caregiver who will give me daily goals and sticker—sheets , , ,

caregiver who will encourage me to be regressed when i have a hard day

caregiver who loves to take care of me when m regressed , , ,

caregiver who i can be childish and goofy around without worrying or feeling insecure :(

caregiver who respects my plushies n remembers all their names , , ,
