โก uses the nicknames โlittle oneโ โchildโ โmy darlingโ โsweetnessโ โsillyโ โmy little witchโ โloveโ โsweet thingโ
โก the type to see his little interact with a small animal and say โthis little one quite reminds me of my little one!โ and nickname them after that animal. โlittle bunnyโ โlittle birdโ โlittle lambโ etc
โก very attentive, always aware of his littleโs presence even when heโs not directly watching them. a gentle protector, he doesnโt invade their space but is quick to come to them when heโs needed, and he can tell that he is needed whether his little calls for him or not
โก big on parallel play, he loves to let his little do their own thing while he does his own thing beside them. he is adaptable and willing to provide whatever they need, whether itโs closeness or personal space
โก has a schedule for his little and doesnโt stray from it, strict breakfast lunch and dinner times. the type to ask his little what adventures they want to have at the top of each morning so that he can plan around it
โก knows the importance of tone and facial expressions, always uses a loving tone and keeps his expressions soft
โก he isnโt the type to offer physical affection such as hugs and carrying and kisses if heโs not asked, but he loves giving his little a good head pat and moving their hair away from their face and running his fingers through their hair. if he senses that his little could use a hug but is too shy to ask, heโll kneel down and open his arms to them but never coaxes them if they donโt seem enthusiastic about it
โก as soon as they step foot out the door, heโs offering a hand for his little to hold and looking at them expectantly. even if they trail slightly behind him as they walk, he glances back to ensure theyโre alright.
โก i donโt think heโs the type to buy his little whatever they want, he keeps in mind that in their little headspace they might choose something that looks fun but have no use for it later. heโll ask what they intend to use it for, if it will make them happy, and remind them if they already have something that does the same function. but if his little says theyโre positive then heโll happily buy it for them.
โก loves encouraging his little to play pretend and humors them whenever they say things like โiโm a dragon/princess/knight!โ responds like โwhy yes, my darling, you are the most frightening dragon/most elegant princess/bravest knight i have ever seen!โ
โก he has rules but heโs very gentle about them, understanding that rules are in place for the good of his little, not so that a caregiver can feel a sense of control and power. he understands the delicate balance between being too strict and too lenient, and he takes his responsibility very seriously
โก if his little tends to be indecisive and feel pressure around making decisions, heโll have a meal plan for every day so that he doesnโt need to ask his little what they want to eat and make them think too hard
โก loves to read bedtime stories to his little, or stories at any time of day, knowing how they find his voice soothing. he loves hearing them laugh when he uses voices for the characters and does onomatopoeias
โก handles meltdowns very well, shows a sense of urgency and care while not escalating the situation. he always wipes his littleโs tears despite his distaste for being wet, not minding having his little cry into his shirt or wiping the tears away with his knuckles. he talks them through it oh so carefully and knows what little tricks to use to distract their mind
โก big on โemotional aftercareโ, rewarding his little for getting through difficult moments without a fit and pampering them when theyโre exhausted from feeling big feelings
โก coaxes his little into little space without truly meaning to, he just canโt help using caregiver language and treating them as something precious and delicate whether they are little or not. when they are in little space, he is content to let them stay that way for as long as they need.
