Mommy

1. Don't even neglect, ignore, or dismiss your little. A lot of littles might regress because they enjoy it but there's more than what meets the surface. Some might have abandonment issues or been abused in the past etc. If you do that as a caregiver despite knowing their trauma, you don't deserve to be a caregiver.

2. Never raise your voice or yell at your littles. Yes you can have a strict tone but it has to be the same level of your voice. Yelling can make them insecure or feel as if they're a burden or even cause them severe distress. As a caregiver you're meant to be there to help and care for them, not make them feel as if they're unwanted.

3. As a caregiver you're meant to care and provide for your little. Just because they trust you does not mean you should abuse that precious trust. Respect their boundaries and wishes. Don't ever force them to do anything they don't want too. Especially sexual stuff if the little is a minor and agere, nonsexual etc.

4. Cheating is a big no no. If you and your little don't have a mutual poly relationship, there is no reason you should be with other littles without them knowing. Not only are you making them insecure but youre hurting them more deeply than you'd think.

5. When your little is upset, sad, hurt, or distressed please do not brush it off or do nothing. It's the littlest things that matter. For example, you can sing them a little happy song or have them color for you and praise them for a job well done. I can go on but doing nothing even if you're not sure is hurtful. Anything is better than nothing. It truly shows you care.

6. Verbal abuse is not a form of punishment. That is abuse that messes with their mental health. Doing anything that threatens their mental space or little space is just a disappointment. Especially if it's done out of spite or on purpose. At that point, you have no reason being a caregiver.

Little sneezes a little or coughs

"Is my poor wittle baby okay? Do you have a cold sweetie? Momma/Daddy will need you to bundle up nice and warmly! Later we can cuddle and snuggle so chu can be all warmed up"

Little trips or stumbles a bit

"Oh my gosh, sweetie are you okay? Please please be careful. Does my sweet little one have a boo boo? Let Mommy/Daddy take a look? Hm no boo boo but let's put a cute bandage just incase and shower it with kisses"

Little sniffles and rubs eyes

"Awwee come to Daddy/Momma. What's wrong? Sweepy? Diapy change? Turn that frown upside down and give Daddy/Momma a pretty smile hm? Ah that's more like it precious one, here two kisses, one of each eyes! Oh and one for the tip of your nose! Mwah!"

Little pouts softly

"Little one, you know it pains momma/daddy to see you all pouty. Did something happen? Trip? Fall? How about a cookie and juice in your sippy cup to bring that wonderful smile I adore back to your face. As long as Momma/Daddy get a smile from your patootie"

Little moves around in their sleep

"Is my little baby have a bad dream? Come here, Momma/Daddy will protect you from all the scary monsters! Let's cuddle together and I'll read you a bed time story while you drink a nice cup of hot cocoa? Don't worry, Momma/Daddy got you my little angel"

Little gets a paper cut

"Oh gosh, is that blood? Someone call the baby medic! Momma/Daddy should calm down? Nono my baby is hurt. Let me see that cut and kiss the boo boo away. Ah we have to clean it and put a bandage on it! Make way, injured baby coming through. Don't worry, Momma/Daddy will handle it"

Little drops something

"Awe were you trying to be a big one and get Momma/Daddy a glass of water like how we get you a sippy of juice? Don't worry sweetie, plus that was super duper dangerous! That could have broken and you could have seriously injured yourself. Promise Momma/Daddy that you don't try that again okay? My precious wittle silly wubbly butt"

Hiiiii! I just wanted to list a few reminders to any and every little out there who come across this.

1. Remember to always brush your teeth when you wake up and before going to sleep. Don't you wanna have super duper good smelling breath to give cute goodmorning and good night kisses on the cheek?! So brush brush brush your teeth!!!

2. If you're on any form of medication, whether you take it in the day,afternoon, or evening, absolutely remember to take them. Yes they might be yucky and nasty but they help you feel better right? If it's superrrr nasty then maybe tale it with somethign sweet. Like a small amount of juice instead of water. Medicine is very important so try to stay on schedule with it little peeps.

3. I cannot stress this enough but stay hydrated! Doesn't matter the season or time of the year, water is important! Set up water checks with each other or just do likeba dialy amount and if you drink a certain amount by the end of the week then treat yourself! Of course I'll understand if you chose instead to sneak in some juice, but water first!

4. Make sure you're eating properly. Even if it's not three square meals a day, try to do a meal or two with some snack between. I understand some might have ED or might not feel like eating any big dishes, but even if it is a little, try and consume something. Remember food is super yummy so why miss out on it heh.

♡Ah the last part of the day. If you just came home from school or work, relax and take some time to yourself to decompress.

♡All relaxed now? Wonderful! It's dinner time and you know what that means. Food!! Eat something filling or if you don't want to eat much, eat a little food and possibly a snack later. Like yogurt, fruits, fruit snacks, and stuff like that.

♡Got any homework? Or anything important to do? Now's the time to do it and get it out of your way. The earlier you do it the more time you have to watch tv,color, and so forth.

♡Don't forget to brush your teeth, which means no more snacking on anything. Also don't forget to shower or freshen up for bed if that's what you do.

♡Make sure you change into a comfortable pair of jammies and stay warm since it tends to get cold at night. Don't forget to put those sockies on those teeny tiny toes.

♡It's the afternoon and you know what that means. Lunchtime!!! Make sure to eat lunch, whether it's small or big. But if you're not that hungry just substitute it with a couple of snacks. Also! Stay hydrates lovelies!

♡Is your day going alright? If so that's wonderful! If not don't let it ruin the rest of your day! Try to keep a positive attitude, the day is almost done mkay?!

♡Do you have an prescribed medication you need to take? Don't forget to take it or set a reminder to take it. It's very very important and you're an important person so treat yourself as such.

♡Make sure you're paying attention in class or at work. I know you're doing your best so keep it up!!! But if you have a day off, take a nap, because why not. Better to be well rested than not.

♡Always brush your teeth. Make sure it's squeaky clean!!! Don't forget to take a nice shower/bath, gotta be super duper clean to look cute for the day.

♡After waking up make your bed if you have the time for it. Wouldn't you like coming back home to a nicely made bed to fall on.

♡Dress for the appropriate weather mkay? Can't have any of you getting sick. If it's cold dress in removable layers.

♡Make sure to eat breakfast and if you're a picky eater or don't have much of an appetite to eat, replace that meal with a snack or fruits!

♡Don't forget to stay hydrated! Yes juice is yummy but water keeps you really nice and refreshed. Bring or carry a water bottle with you always!
