Here’s some tips for newbies:

-Timeouts don’t always work

-A lot of littles like spankings so they’re not the best for actual punishment

-Do NOT take away comfort items as a punishment. So if your little has a special stuffy or a paci or something DON’T TAKE IT FROM THEM AS A PUNISHMENT.

-Sometimes we act out and break rules because we need extra love and attention or maybe we’re sad. not because we need to be punished.

-You should have a list or rules and punishments written down so it’s easy for your little to remember.

-Some of us need motivation to do stuff. Ice cream works well for that.

-Some of us have issues that will make us extremely sad and scared if you talk about other littles.

-Littles with mental illnesses need even more reassurance than others

-We all need a lot of reassurance anyway

-You can tell us we aren’t annoying a million times but we will all feel like we’re annoying you at some point

-Different littles need different rules.

-Just cherish us. Let us be little and love us for it.

Some of my favorites Daddy says

*stern voice* “Little girl”

“You’re too little for that”

“Oh, you think you’re a big girl…. That’s so cute!”

“Go sit down, this is a job for Daddy.”

“Do you want a spanking?”

“Daddy will take you to the potty”

“Use your words please.”

“Naughty little baby.”

“You’re just a silly little girl.”

“Daddy isn’t asking, he’s telling you.”

“Do as Daddy says”

“Be a good girl.”

“Let’s count sheep.”

“It’s bed time sweetheart.”

“Oh my goodness you are so fussy tonight.”

“You need binky. Where’s your binky baby?”

“You are soooo clingy, aren’t you?!”

“I know what’s wrong. You just need Daddy. Come here”

“Sit on my lap baby”

“Who’s my pretty little baby?”

"Mommy/Daddy/Caregiver name is proud of you"

"I'm extending your bedtime for tonight"

"Your coloring/drawing is so pretty!"

"Mommy/Daddy/Caregiver name loves you very much"

"You've been such a good little today. I think you deserve a reward."

"Get comfortable so daddy/mommy/Caregiver name can tell you a bedtime story"

♡ Use a soft voice

♡ Pease don’t shout at them

♡ Coaxing works better than ultimatums (offer a small candy if coaxing alone doesn’t work)

♡ Always have some band-aids on you (for boo-boos and “boo-boos”)

♡ Hug them often

♡ Hold their hand so they don’t wander off (they will wander off if you don’t)

♡ Only wash their comfort item while they sleep (that way they won’t be awake to miss it)

♡ Memorize their favorite foods/how they like certain foods cooked

♡ Love and cherish them with all your heart

- Reward them for doing a good job even if it doesn’t seem like that big of a deal

- Fix a bottle/sippycup/etc. of their favorite drink without them asking

- Give them tummy rubs (this can be good as a relax thing but also helps with menstrual cramps!)

- If you’re long distance, text them “Good morning, my little [insert nickname here]” to let them know they were the first thing on your mind

- Surprise them with a new stuffie for their collection

- Or stickers!! stickers are good too

- give them forehead kissies

- Ask them about important health things like “have you brushed your teeth?” or “How much water have you drank today?”

- Play their favorite game with them

- initiate a cuddle session :3

-Play with their hair or brush it (it’s good for bed time routines cause it can be really relaxing!)

- buy them a small treat like ice cream or hot cocoa depending on the season

- Always tell them you love them!!

♡We’re just babies, sometimes we say things that we don’t mean negatively, we just small and don’t know better.

♡Don’t stay upset with us for too long.. You’re our everything and we need you.

♡Tell us when you’re upset, sometimes we dont know why, even if we caused it!

♡We’re very sensitive.. Please be gentle.

♡Don’t get too upset with us when we act up, sometimes we just really want your attention and don’t know how to get it.

♡Get to the bottom of it when we’re grumpy! Sometimes it’s something that really upset us that you didn’t even realize!

♡Don’t make us feel bad for wanting to be little or babied!! We want to feel safe and cared for, to be happy. ♡Don’t get too upset for things we copy from you. You’re our rolemodel, we look up to you like a child.

♡We try to seek out your approval at every turn.. Give us appreciation and praise! It will improve our confidence and make is the happiest little one in the world!

♡Don’t leave even if we say go away.. Stay close by. Sometimes we say it even though we really need your support.

♡We love you always, don’t think otherwise.

You are great at coloring!

You look exceptionally cute today!

Remember, look both ways, then cross the street!

How about you pick a toy we can play with!

I want to watch a Disney movie, you pick!

I’m hungry, should we make cookies together?!

Oh! Look! A princess/prince!

You are my good girl/boy!

Can I play dress up with you?!

This obviously won’t be 100% accurate since every little is different and will have their own preferences, but these are the basic things you should know!

- make sure they eat 3 meals a day and drink plenty of water! nobody wants a hangry baby -_-

- check up on them! make sure that your little is in a good headspace and that they’re happy

- make sure they take their meds if they have to! meds are super important!

- give them plenty of attention and affection! and make sure to never ignore your little as a punishment

- give them a few rules that will benefit them, especially if you have a bratty baby. And if they follow all your rules make sure to give them a reward for being so good!

- if they have stuffies, learn about their stuffies! You taking interest in your little’s stuffies and then talking about their stuffies will make their heart melt, but in a good way

- know their triggers if they have any! You wouldn’t want to make your little feel upset or uncomfortable!

- l o t s o f p e t n a m e s pet names will make your little feel even smaller plus they’re just super cute! (Make sure your little is okay with the pet names first)

this was everything I could think of, if you have any feel free to leave them in the comments!

I don’t know ho needs to hear / see this today,

But you’re valid, honey, and this is a safe space. Take care of yourself because /your mental health/ come first. If you want a snack, take your blanket, tie it around your shoulders and make it an adventure! If you need a shower but you’re not feeling up to the challenge, it’s okay to stay in bed a little longer. Change your pillow case when you do get up, and make sure you stay hydrated; you’re loved and we want you here. 

i want a garden filled with strawberries n an entire field of flowers

- drinking something warm

- holding a pillow or something fluffy
