More subtle agere tips:

I wear glasses and walking around with no glasses on always makes me feel tinyy!!

Tucking your arms into your shirt when you're cold!! (Or your caregiver's if applicable. I like touching mine with my cold freezing icicle fingers hashtag hypothyroidism)

OK. Get you a pair of big baggy jeans that are way too long and cuff them. Cuff them a LOT. Put THICK cuffs on there i mean 2-3 inch height pants cuffs.

Hold your cup with both hands !!!

I have mentioned this before but drinking out of huge plastic cups. I like when the rim of the cup touches my forehead when I drink. Comically large cup

I once got one of those huge rainbow lollipops and walking around licking it did actually make me feel like a kid in a propeller hat

I am pretty much always fidgeting with my fingers in some way esp when walking around. Dinosaur arms + fidgeting with fingers is great !! Also do not be afraid to do flappy hands in public nobody cares or will say anything

I have also mentioned this before but walking without bending your knees very much. Biiiig stomp. Also sitting on the floor with your legs straight out

Collecting literally anything! I collect clown dolls, strange trinkets, vintage porcelain animal figurines, pins and patches, etc!!

Also DIYing always makes me feel tinier!! Lately for my puppy regression i have made a body harness (out of a dog harness that i just sized up with scraps of backpack straps) and 3D paw pads for my hand warmers !!

What are hoodie strings for if not to gnaw on

Keep your eyes on the ground when you walk and (safely) pick up cool things you find! I have a baggie with me at all times for this purpose!! I have found things like buttons, toys, pins, etc this way!

You have heard of patterned socks but have you heard of plain socks that are a little bit too big. Chefs kiss. Maybe not for under shoes but too-big socks are always good for walking around

Pointing at things with just one ☝️ finger

Also for some reason keeping my lips a little parted makes me feel small? Like my mouth open just a tiny bit? Maybe it's more whimsical who knows

Echolalia also makes me feel small. Even if I'm doing it on purpose (im usually not tho #myautism) just repeating sounds I hear always does the trick !! Esp with things like cars going vvrrroooom or birds going cheep cheep. Wonderful 👌 I am my own soundboard

Also an autism tip: scripting or echolalia with childhood shows! Doesn't have to be "for kids", but much more fun if it's something nostalgic !! Like 50% of everything that comes out of my mouth when small are lines from movies or shows. If you see me say something oddly specific chances are it's a movie quote. Actually even if you dont catch it a lot of what I say is just quotes from obscure childhood movies

Plushie keychains but on your pants loops !! I have a Taz (looney tunes) plush keychain bag that holds my glasses wipes!

🌈 General Terms

Regression: A coping mechanism or state where someone mentally reverts to a younger age, often unintentionally. It's often associated with stress relief, trauma response, or comfort.

Can be voluntary or involuntary.

Dreaming: When someone enjoys childish things and adopts childlike aesthetics into their lifestyle or mindset; although not regressing (or not regressing fully)

majority is voluntary

Flip-Flop (or just Flip): term describing someone who experiences both regressor and caregiver dynamics!

Usually called flip for short, rarely called a flip-flop!

🧸 Agere (Age Regression) Terms

Agere (Age Regression): Short for "age regression." A non-sexual coping mechanism where someone mentally feels or acts younger.

Regressor (Little/Agere): A person who experiences age regression.

Little: A common term for regressors, but sometimes used differently in kink spaces—context matters.

Caregiver (CG): Someone who takes care of or supports someone during regression.

May also be called Daddy, Mommy, or other comfort titles (non-kink here).

A-Space: A term for your save environment while regressing

Headspace: The mental state someone is in while regressing

🐾 Petre (Pet Regression) Terms

Petre (Pet Regression): A form of regression where someone mentally or emotionally regresses to a pet-like state (e.g., puppy, kitten). Usually non-sexual and a coping mechanism.

Pet regressor (Petreg): A person who regresses into an animal role.

Pet: Common identity for someone in pet regression.

Petdre (Pet Dreaming): Similar to dreaming, but pet-themed. Someone embraces animal-like aesthetics and behaviors for comfort, not necessarily as regression.

Owner/Caretaker/Handler: The caregiving role in petre relationships.

🌟 Dreaming Terms

Dreamer: A person in the dreaming community; may or may not be a regressor.

Agedre (Age Dreaming): Adopting childlike behaviors, aesthetics, or interests for fun, comfort, or identity—not as a coping mechanism.

Petdre (Pet Dreaming): Like Agedre, but focused on animal roleplay/aesthetics for fun or identity (not coping).

Dreamspace: The comforting, whimsical mindset or place created by dreamers (often very aesthetic).

⚖️ Flip Terms

Flip: Someone who experiences both regression and caregiving, or who switches roles based on mood or partner dynamic.

Flipdreamer: Someone who flips roles within a dreaming or aesthetic-based identity.

AgeShifter: A term for regressors or permaregressors who find their age changing on a time basis; a five-year-old one day, an eight-year-old the next, etc

⚠️ Notes

These communities are usually non-kink and non-sexual in nature (especially Agere and Petre).

Context matters: Some terms like “little” or “CG” are also used in kink communities (DDLG, MDLB, etc.), but they are separate from non-kink regressive or dreaming spaces.
