“For years mental health professionals taught people that they could be psychologically healthy without social support, that “unless you love yourself, no one else will love you.”…The truth is, you cannot love yourself unless you have been loved and are loved. The capacity to love cannot be built in isolation”

— Bruce D. Perry, M.D., Ph.D. — “The Boy Who Was Raised As A Dog”  (via zsrmx)

Help Your Little Feel Comfy Regressing Around You

Littles often feel insecure about regressing. It can take a long time for them to feel comfortable regressing around you, and some need a reminder even after years of being your little. We constantly worry about being a burden or bothering you. Here are some things that you can do to help your little feel more secure and encourage them to show their little side to you.

🌸Baby talk to your little. I know it might feel silly but talking to them like a baby will help them feel little and it’s super cute.

👑Pick out some cute and childish clothes for your kiddo to wear and help them get dressed. Littles love to feel cute and if you pick out childish clothes it reinforces that you enjoy seeing them as a kid.

💗Tell them that you love their little side. You already told them? Then tell them again. Tell them a million times because a reminder never hurts.

🎁If you can, then buy them some little gear. Different littles like different things but consider buying a pacifier, stuffie, cute blankey, onesie or other little clothes. You’re never required to spend money on your little, and don’t feel bad if you can’t. Your little won’t love you any less.

🍼Help your little go into little space without them having to telling you that they want to regress. Baby them and let them know that you want to see their little side because you want to get to take care of them.

💙Tell them all of the reasons that you love being their caregiver. Us littles just want to know that you love being our caregiver as much as we love being your little one.

🍭We understand that sometimes you’re too busy to baby us, but there are different ways of expressing that. If you’re too busy let your little know that you can’t take care of them at the moment, but that when you can you’ll be sure to give them lots of love and attention for being such a good and patient baby.

🌟When they tell you that they’re a grown up or aren’t a little kiddo it’s a test. They want to be reminded that they’re actually you’re perfect baby who listens to their caregiver.

🌷When they’re trying to do an adult thing tell them that they’re just a kid so they should let you do it. Of course this does not apply to school or work or other necessary tasks. Unfortunately, even littles have responsibilities. But if they’re cooking or driving or something like that offer to help or do it for them because they can’t handle such a grown up task.

🍬Check up on their behavior. If they have rules always ask if they’re following them and being a good kiddo. If they aren’t following their rules or are generally misbehaving then reprimand/punish them (only in a way they’ve agreed to). Never forget to reward good behavior as well. It’s just as important to praise and reward a good kiddo as it is to scold and punish a misbehaving one.

🌈Encourage your little to try new things. Encourage them to try using little gear that they haven’t (paci, bottle, teether, etc.). Encourage them to try new little activities (dress up, coloring, playing outside, etc.). Encourage them to generally explore their little side more. Never push them to do something they aren’t comfortable with, but there’s nothing wrong with helping them to broaden their little horizons.

Get Daddy’s Attention 101

💕 Tug on his hand or shirt.

💕 Toss stuffies at him. Gently!! We mustn’t hurt our stuffies.

💕 Dramatically sigh, wiggle, and move around.

💕 Say loudly that we are going to do something that we are clearly way too little to be doing ourselves.

💕 Climb on his lap and get directly in front of whatever he is doing.

💕 If all else fails, stomps and grumps! Because, let’s face it, we should have gotten attention long ago. ☺️

I changed rnt into her night diaper 20 minutes ago so we could watch TV. 20 minutes later, she is soaked, snoring, and missed the best episode of Reno 911.
