Tips for hidden regressors
I am a private regressor, so nobody knows but me because of my adoptive parents being very cruel to me and not having biological family. Here are some tips for other hidden regressors!!
Always keep your volume low to not let your parents hear what your listening too.
I like to look up child books, read out loud when going to bed, and let my phone shut off under the pillow.
For asmr babies, caregiver asmr can help you feel like somebody is there for you before bedtime and put you right to sleep.
Listening to baby toy music is another one to listen to before bed or even baby mobile music.
â non headphone users â
You can listen to videos of toys on your own on low volume if your home alone or just on mute to see how others play and imagine urself playing with them
Coloring is another thing. Usually, blank pieces of paper work great for coloring. If you want to keep a drawing put it in your school bag or in a binder etc or a empty shoe box in your room.
Some Littles have younger siblings, so you can use their color books at night if you are lucky!
Stuffed animal are another thing, some do or don't gave them. If you do you can or course play pretend with them and carry them around.
Putting earrings, hats, clothes, etc. on your stuffed animals as dress up, glasses, etc.
Some have fidget toys use them!! Play with them :o] if their quiet toys even better!!
Staying pillows up high to make yourself feel smaller helps me regress.
For babies who play games, roblox games are perfect for mobile and PC users but I say more for mobile since it's private. It's free
Roblox agere Daycare games have private servers and let you walk with pacifiers in the game.Sensory games have free private servers, so you can draw and play and interact with things in the game.
Buying socks can also be used to feel small, even the white ones, I find that even white socks short or long make me feel tiny and cute.
Oversized hoodies and shirts, these are in style currently and can make you feel like for some Littles their wearing their caregivers' clothes or making them feel tiny in general.
For Littles who can't, I would say to buy sweaters and wear them when your small in your size or a bigger size with shorts and socks on. It makes you feel sweet, clean etc
Water bottles!! They can look like sippy cups but big, I have very mean parents but I have a jug type bottle that is like a sippy cup with the top and let's me chew and suckle on it.
I know some babies like to teeth in a way when little rubber water bottle tips can be for you! Along with straws and other rubber things!
â bath time / self care â
Putting a bar of soap under the facet of a bath can form bubbles and you have a bubble bath.
Warm water can make you feel as if your being hugged or cradled.
If you play music while taking a bath even better play some softer songs.
Make bubble hats with bubbles, make beards and hair and other things.
For babies who don't like to bathe, it's okay. Praise yourself into showered. I have body dysphoria, and I struggle with bathing, having ur own towel and praising myself into bathing usually works.
Another way is to put it on a schedule to bathe and push yourself into doing it. Or remind yourself how good and clean you feel after a bath. Others time yourself 5 minutes to speed clean yourself with soap!! You got this!
For babies like my who hate doing their hair.
Always at least rise your hair under water if you shower, if your in a bath dunk yourself slowly in and just shake your hair with your fingers.
At least you're hydrating your hair, attempting to run your fingers in your hair if you're feeling brave, put the conditioner, and brush your hair with conditioner.
Please never brush your hair without it. It makes your hair lose up. For babies who get tired after half or less, their hair is brushed, breathe, step out the shower, and wait for regain strentlgth. Even if you stop now, you did a great job.
Babies who struggle with teeth brushing I struggle to.
Set a timer on your phone for brushing your teeth at 10 pm or whatever time. Others might benefit from keeping their toothbrush in their room in a drawer or on a desk to grab easily and use.
For babies with dry skin lotion yourself!! And wait or walk around for it to dry I know it feels so gross and sticky but you'll smell so very good.
Littles who use lotion. Please do not eat it... even though it smells good, it's not food.
Littles who hate shaving male or female soap can help lather your skin. If you can't shave but want to shave your armpits and finger hair.
Legs and arms take a while. I usually do arms since their easy, and they start small. When shaving, calm yourself and imagine how proud your caregiver would be of you when your shaved.
Self-harm babies, band aids or just washing your spots can help and not lead to infection. Always after cutting, attempt to put something on it.
I regress small and have hygiene issues and self-confidence issues. I want to help Littles, who struggle to help them with these things. I promise things will get better. Even though you'll say they won't and life is hellish. It will get better. You need to trust your future self into making it better.
Start small little loves, you're all so lovely. Please remind yourself how much you can love yourself and how amazing you are.
