Little home days, and how to keep your little...little!
Disclaimer: This is a SFW oriented post, there will be no mention of nsfw or adult activities. Also, every little is different so not all of these may work for yours/yourself. The key is communication, honesty, support, and experimentation. Good luck everyone, hope this helps!
A whole day, or even part of a day, while at home being little can be an amazing and extremely relaxing experience! The thing is, it’s so easy for littles to exit the little head space and become big on accident. It’s a balancing act and it takes some work, but it’s 100% worth it when you get an entire chunk of regression time! Here’s some tips on how to keep the ball rolling:
😇 Again, most super importantly: Communication, support, honesty. Try talking before hand to figure out what activities trigger little space and which trigger big.
🐻 Surround your little with things that comfort them like stuffies, blankies, and colorful things.
🍼 Make sure to have a FEW spare bottles, sippies, and binkies around. Littles are clumsy and drop things super easily, so it’s good to have a spare as backup.
🍕 When it comes to food pick ones that are fun or easy to eat! Good examples are fruit platters, mac and cheese, pizza, finger sandwiches, tea cakes, cereal, grilled cheese, fast food, icecream, etc~
🚽 If your little gets really wrapped up in space, make sure to ask them if they need anything periodically. Like snack, drink, potty, etc.
🤔 Make sure to keep your little stimulated! When minds wander, we tend to think about adult things, so keep our day fun and entertaining.
👶 Try to keep entertainment kid friendly. Of course, some littles are bigger than others, but steering away from things with gore, sex, drugs, and other negative things will help them stay little. Watch a cartoon or kids movie instead!
👥 Engage your little. It’s very hard to stay little when your caregiver isn’t participating. Finishing a picture only to look up and see them busy on their phone or computer is crushing, so make sure to keep an eye on us and stay with us.
😊 A big key is to stay positive! Bringing up sad or negative topics can snap littles out of space fast. Talk about our stuffies, cartoons, and cute things!
🦋 If you have a backyard, go outside for a bit! A little picnic, bug hunting, mud pies, playing in puddles, etc, are really fun for most littles!
🤭 Giggles are good, don’t be afraid to get silly~
🎒 If your little has a little pack, now’s the time to get it ready! If your little is slipping out of space, ask them what they packed in their back pack! They’ll have fun showing you all their little knick-knacks and toys!
🎨 Arts and crafts are a great time “waster” for littles. They’ll have fun without even noticing the day passing! Just be ready for glitter and glue to be everywhere, hehe.
🍰 You know whats even better than crafts? Crafts that you can EAT after! Find simple recipes you can do with your little that wont take too long, be to hard, or make tooooo much of a mess.
🐳 If your little gets extra messy, make sure bathtime is FUN. Get the toys out, get the water paint out, and make SURE to get those bubbles out! Some littles like being washed while others don’t like others in the bathroom with them, make sure you know which kind of little yours is, but either or you can always draw the bath for them.
🌚 A day of play can be tiring, if your little’s getting cranky or fussy, it may be time for a nap. Every little naps differently, but some good things are stuffies, blankies, a drink, some snuggles, a night light, and something to relax to.
And that’s that! There’s a TON more fun things to do with your little, so if you want a follow up post let me know! I hope all my little sweeties have wonderful little days, and I hope this helps alleviate some of the work and stress of our sweet caregiver’s shoulders.
