Icky (regarding sa trauma)

✫Hug your stuffie and let yourself cry

✫If you can, shower or bathe. If needed, you can keep your clothes on until you feel better

for kiddos that don't have a caregiver, sib, or friend to play with <3

have a tea party! invite your stuffies, dolls, or other toys to a tea party with you! formal invitations are a must, of course, and you'll have to set the table for all of your guests. if you're too small to pour hot tea, you can always use water, iced tea, or have some invisible tea

make a pillow fort! have some spare pillows and blankets? make yourself a little fort by making walls of pillows and a blanket roof. once you're done, you'll have the perfect secret hideout

watch a movie! there's tons of kid-friendly movies out there, you're sure to find one you like! if you're not feeling a kid-oriented movie you can always watch nature documentaries, asmr videos, or a tv show

color a gallery! print out some coloring sheets, color them in, and hang them up. then, you can show all of your stuffies around your art gallery. who knows, maybe you'll inspire your stuffies to try out coloring themselves!

make a sock puppet! got a single sock lying around? all you need to turn it into a puppet is some googly eyes (or buttons) and a marker to draw on any extra features. if you're feeling fancy, you can use a pipe cleaner to give him arms and some pieces of fabric to make him a shirt

Do some gardening, plant some pretty flowers or vegetables, once they grow you can wash them and make a yummy salad.

Make a spring flower sensory bin, collect some grass, flowers and other things you can find in the garden.

Homemade bubbles solution add 2 cups of warm water, 1/3 cups of dish soap and 1/4 cup or corn syrup.

make a home made bubble wand from a pipe cleaner, tape and some beads. Bend the pipe cleaner in half, make sure that there is a hole where the bubbles would go, add tape around the wand bit and slide beads up to make it pretty (google has more info).

Go to a local pond and feed the ducks, bread can hurt their stomachs, the best diet is dry instant oats, seeds, cracked corn, lettuce, spinach and kale.

Flower pot painting, get some brushes and paint and let your imagination run wild while you create pretty designs on the pots, even plant some pretty flowers in them.

You can even use the paint to decorate some eggs for Easter (I made some and I drew a heart and a flower)

Make some ice pops, get small plastic cups and pour fruit juice or soda, add a popsicle stick and wait for it to freeze, to stop dripping add a cupcake liner so your hands don’t get sticky.

Have a picnic, do it in the garden or in the park, bring sandwiches, yummy juice and fruit and of course a nice treat like chocolate or candy.

If it’s muddy and wet you can go puddle jumping, wear some boots and waterproof clothes and have fun!

It’s okay if all you did today was play games.

It’s okay if all you did today was sleep.

It’s okay if all you did today was get dressed.

It’s okay if all you did today was wake up.

We all heal in different ways, and there are days that are harder than others. That doesn’t mean you didn’t try, or that you’re lazy, or that you’re worthless.

Everything you do on a hard day is an act of bravery. Everything you do is wonderful, and I love you for it.

Sometimes it can be really hard when you’re living at home/with family who may not accept your regression! :( It can be difficult to buy regression items, store them, watch your favorite cartoons, etc. I have some tips to share, though, that i wish i had known when i was new to age regression!

🌼 Dollar Tree is your friend!!! Very cheap regression items such as bottles, sippie cups, coloring books, crayons, soaps, all kinds of fun things for very cheap!!!

🌼 Buy pacis from small businesses!! Yes, unfortunately they tend to be more expensive, however they are typically more well-made and last longer!

🌼 If you’re in the regression closet and have absolutely no way to buy full-on regression gear, try finding discrete little things like cute water bottles with nice designs on them! Fidget toys, chewy necklaces, more ‘plain jane’ bubble baths instead of kiddie bubble bath, etc.

🌼 Remember, you don’t have to have little gear in order to be a valid regressor! If you have to eat your mac & cheese out of a plain bowl, that doesn’t make you any less of a regressor! You don’t need fancy toys, designed blankets, socks and onesies to regress!

🌼 Hide your pacis, small toys, etc in the pockets of your jacket, and hang the jacket up in your closet!! I also hide mine in a small trinket box in my nightstand drawer!

🌼 You have to pay for it, but Paramount+ is an app you can download on any device, and it has all kinds of kids shows such as Dora the Explorer, Blues Clues, Spongebob, The Backyardigans, etc! You can watch it on your phone!

🌼 Cookies. Lots of cookies. They’re the perfect regression snack and nobody will suspect a thing 😎

Remember, what works for some may not work for all, and that’s okay! These are just some general tips that I’ve personally used!

Your regression is ALWAYS valid, no matter how you do it!💕🍄
