It means so much to me to read these kinds of things. I got so burnt out when dealing with really bratty littles in the past (ngl I think some of them were actually just toxic but that's a story for another day). I just wanna encourage healthy habits and boost them up when they show me things (like colouring pages, new soft toys, cooking their own food, making the bed etc). I just wanna have them comfy sleepy vibes with a smol one and explore my childish side too :}

Soft caregivers matter too!

As a caregiver I think it’s okay not to be so tough or strong. Sometimes you just want to be a soft one and thats okay!!! Interacting with your little softly is not a bad thing and does not make you appear childish with them! I think it’s important to have that dynamic, it’s not all about strictness and rules.

Don’t think you’re not doing enough or being how you should be, its really up to you and your little one!

tips for depressed, chronically ill, & disabled littles.

please reblog to help spread awareness!

it can sometimes be hard to feel little when you spend a lot of time in pain, bedridden, dealing with scary big thoughts, or any of the other things that can accompany mental or physical disabilities so these are things u can do to feel small with little effort.

ᯓ★ keep soft blankets + stuffies near you

literally what’s smaller than having your soft little comfort plushes with you? this is probably the easiest thing u can do that will make you feel at least a little smaller.

ᯓ★ download mobile games for kids

if you aren’t someone who can get up and down off the floor or if you’re in a lot of pain, or if its just a rough day and you want to stay in bed little kid games are good for feeling tiny.

ᯓ★ play baby music or soft lullabies 

if you’re not feeling up to playing at all and just need to rest, lullabies and nursery rhymes are rlly good for helping you rest and helping you feel tiny.

ᯓ★ age regression fanfic

this might sound silly but for littles with chronic pain something that genuinely can help is mood boards, one shots, etc. about ur favorite fictional cgs.

ᯓ★ think of your ‘lazy’ clothes as baby clothes

toddlers and babies are almost always dressed in comfy soft clothes so if you’re always in your soft sweatpants or cozy pjs to alleviate discomfort it’s just like little kids getting dressed in their soft little clothes!

ᯓ★ middle regression is always an option

if you’re worried about regressing because you have to take care of yourself (ex. handle a walking aid, medicine, etc.) middle regression is super accessible because you can be regressed and do a lot of the things big you can already do

middle regression can also entail less rambunctious/active play (videos games, reading, coloring, etc.)

ᯓ★ audio books 

if you look up ‘audio kids books’ or some form of that on youtube you can find kids stories read aloud! its something super fun that can make you feel small and you can do it anywhere at anytime.

ᯓ★ calming kids activities 

there are a whole bunch of websites that have ‘calm down’ activities for when kids are winding down from rambunctious play (playing with play dough, sensory toys, singing abcs/nursery rhyme games)

ᯓ★ remember not all regression looks the same

you don’t have to do anything to be small or to be valid as a regressor, regression looks different for everyone. there are ppl who regress and watch horror movies or ppl who regress while doing big kid things like going to the store or to school. your disability, no matter what form it comes in, does not invalidate your regression.

if you’re a little with disabilities, mama koda loves you!!

I just tried the limited edition Oreo Coca-Cola flavour and OMG SO YUM! Idk how they did it but it definitely tastes like Oreos! New favourite flavour for sure. Very sad it’s limited edition though.

If you find it I recommend you try it!

Historically I haven’t liked Squishmallows but now they’re warming up on me. I really don’t need any more toys but I impulse bought this pretty kitty. ✨💫🌕

Her name on the tag is Metta, but I don’t like that much, so I’ll either come up with a new name or she’ll be nameless like many of my other soft toys. ✨💫🌕

The moon and stars on her bottom left reminds me of a cutie mark from My Little Pony.

Do you like squishmallows? If so, what’s your favourite one?

I do like the boba tea ones.

I’ve been listening to this a lot when I’m small/in bed!

I think a lot of regressors will take comfort in it. Big lullaby energy 🛌💤✨

Lemme know if you check it out and like it ☺️

Naw, you’ve had a potty accident. That’s okay, let’s get you cleaned up <3

(I’ve seen a lot of regressors on here become very upset about having accidents so I thought I’d make this post to help normalise it and to make lil bubs feel better)

It’s okay to cry and be upset, bub. Regression isn’t always pretty and fluffy and clean. But just know it’s okay, and there’s nothing to be ashamed of. I’m not going to judge you 🧡

Let’s get you into the bath and out of these damp clothes- would you like to pick some toys to play with in the water?

Into the nice, warm bath 🫧 I’ve got some super gentle, nice smelling products to clean you up with. And, of course, the towel is super soft and fluffy because it’s been in the drier :)

Now, to prevent any more wet clothes, I’ve got some nappies for you to choose from. Reusable or disposable? It’s all about your comfort <3

Last, but certainly not least, here’s some onesies for you to choose from~ (I’m sorry about the lack of gender neutral/masc options!)

Now we’re all sorted and prepared for next time. I’m very proud of you for soldiering on. Don’t ever be scared to ask for help or use the aids you need 🧡

I hope this makes someone feel more comfortable about themselves and helps lift any negative feelings towards potty accidents 🧡🫧
