(some terms are coined by unknown people, others are ones my following helped me create by I make no plans to coin the terms!)

Firstly, Agere is age regression, a sfw therapy/coping method used by trauma survivors (and also just for fun). It is STRICTLY nonsexual. It mean going into the headspace of a child, regressing/reverting mentally to that headspace. Agedre is age dreaming, which is when someone act childish nonsexually but doesn't regress to a headspace.

Petre is pet regression, another sfw coping mechanism that can be fun or help with trauma through the use of a headspace. It is also 100% nonsexual. Petdre is pet dreaming, the act of acting like a pet/animal nonsexually without the actual headspace of an animal.

Since CGlre is the community for sfw regressors with caregivers, it's obviously gotten hate from uneducated ageplayers thinking it's a power dynamic. Obviously this isn't true. The relationship between a regressor and their caregiver is strictly platonic/parental. The cg takes care of the regressor like a parent would. This relationship is never sexual. Period.

However, the use of the word Little in cgLre is often misconstrued and can make age regressors uncomfortable.

Little/Littlespace originated with DID but was stolen by Ageplayers. Ageplayers now act like regressors are stealing it. (That's a debate for another time)

As a result. Many regressors such as myself have steered clear of kink related terms, even if their origins weren't kink, such as Little/Littlespace.

If you feel the same here are good alternatives for terms used in CGlre, Petre and Agere.

Caregiver- a person that takes care of another.

Alternative- Caretaker, Carer, Guardian

Switch- the kink term for someone who is both a Dom and a Sub. Sometimes used by regressors to mean someone who is both a CG and a regressor.

Alternative- Flip

Little- a term coined by the DID community for their system littles, stolen by ageplayers to refer to the Sub. Sometimes used by age regressors.

Alternative- Smol/Small, Bab/Baby, Littol, Tot/Tyke, Kiddo

Littlespace- a term coined by DID, stolen by ageplayers to refer to the "headspace" the Sub enters (not an actual child headspace), sometimes used by age regressors to mean our actual child headspace.

Alternative- Smolspace/Smallspace, Babspace/Babyspace, Littolspace, Totspace, Tykespace, Kidspace/Kiddospace

CGlre- a sfw term taken from cgl (genderneutral kink term for ageplayers) that means an age regressor who has a caregiver. Many smols don't like the term little anymore so this term is becoming more and more invalid and kink related, sadly.

Alternative- cgsre (caregiver smol/small regression/regressor) can be used by every sfw age regressor.

cgbre (caregiver baby regression/regressor) can be used by those who regress to baby ages, 0-2

cgtre (caregiver tot/tyke/toddler regression/regressor) can be used by those who regress to toddler ages, 3-5

cgkre (caregiver kid/kiddo regression/regressor) can be used by those who regress to kiddo ages, 5+
