Tips for Caregivers
🧸 Ask your little lots of questions about their favourite things
🚀 Be genuinely curious about what your little is up to and express an eagerness to be involved
🍼 Speak to your little in a soft, warm tone
💓 Call your little their favourite nicknames e.g. little one, sweetie
🎨 Stay near to your little to keep a watch over them and to be able to be interactive and supportive
🌷 Show you care about your little’s safety and so for example hold their hand or buckle them into the car
🧸 Make decisions for your little and take charge for example ordering for them or picking out their outfits
🚀 Always make your little feel love whether this be through verbal reassurance or lots of affection such as head kisses and cuddles
🍼 Suggest your little go get their sippy cup or snack bowl for you to do refills
💓 If your little is showing excitement towards something then get excited with them
🎨 Know all your little’s favourites and remember their stuffies names
🌷 Praise is very key so always let your little know when they are doing a good job or compliment their work, art etc
🧸 Small things really matter to littles and so small gestures are really appreciated e.g. sending messages when you are thinking about them
🚀 Ask your little about their day and how they are feeling
🍼 It sounds simple but actually treat them like a little and speak and act around them as you would a child with the same age as their little age
💓 Keep your promises to your little especially pinky promises
🎨 Give them rewards but also discuss suitable punishments that your little is comfortable with
🌷 Make your little tasty foods suited for a little e.g. finger foods or general children meals
🧸 Choose out a cute little film and recommend you watch it together
🚀 Send your little recordings of your voice for them to be able to listen back to it when they are missing you or need comforting
🍼 Encourage your little to use a little space journal because this allows them to let out their feelings but also express their creative side
💓 Give your little some rules or chores
🎨 Create some daily routines for your little to follow
🌷 Using the three special questions before bed system by asking 1) What was your favourite part pf the day? 2) What was your least favourite part of the day? 3) What are you looking forward to tomorrow?

🧸 Always be sfw when your little has regressed into little space including no swear words
🚀 Make sure your little has completed all self-care tasks e.g. eaten veggies, taken meds, stayed hydrated, kept themselves clean
🍼 Get your little to make wish lists because this allows you to learn about your littles favourite things and when you want to surprise them you can buy some stuff from the list
💓 Always make sure that pacis, bottles and cutlery are washed and cleaned
🎨 Surprises are the best whether it’s new little gear or surprise trips out
🌷 Set your little some fun worksheets to complete
🧸 Always have things on hand for when things go round e.g. character plasters for ouchies, small teddy for when your little gets upset
🚀 Honestly just know as much about your little as possible
🍼 Little’s need lots of attention! I cannot stress the importance of this point enough
