Find a private, quiet, and comfortable place.
Use soft lighting, cozy blankets, and items that feel safe.
If you have a caregiver (CG), let them know you're regressing. (If possible! some littles may be nonverbal <3)
🎨 2. Gather Comfort Items (Optional but Helpful)
Snacks (like applesauce, juice boxes, goldfish crackers)
Toys, coloring books, or sensory items
🎧 3. Choose Comforting Activities
Watch cartoons or kids’ movies
Listen to lullabies or soft music
Nap or cuddle with a stuffed animal
Talk in a childlike voice if it helps
🫧 4. Let Go of Adult Worries
Try to mentally "put away" responsibilities
Use affirmations like: "I am safe."
"I don’t have to worry right now."
"It’s okay to be small."
Set a timer if you have things to do later
Avoid regressing in unsafe or inappropriate environments
Practice self-care after regressing — drink water, reflect gently, and ease back into your usual mindset
Optional: Journaling or Memory Triggers
Some find it helpful to keep a regression journal or make a playlist of comforting songs, shows, or smells that help trigger the regressed mindset.
Please keep an eye on yourself; keep safe when regressing.
Remind yourself: “It’s okay to need comfort.” There’s no shame in wanting to feel little or cared for.
You don’t have to “act like a child” — regression is about your internal experience, not outward behavior.
Everyone's regression looks different; there is no wrong or right way to regress.
