It's okay if you need help sometimes! And it's okay if you don't know how to ask or don't know how to explain, it may sometimes but cg will always be patient and willing to help determine what is needed.
It's okay if you don't need help! You don't have to be struggling for your cg to want to spend time with you. They love you no matter how good or bad it may be.
It's okay if you need reassurance! It's not hard to repeat the truth. Cgs are more than happy to tell you over and over how much you are loved, that you are a good kid, and that they are never going to leave you.
Cgs love you sooooooooo much and are very proud of you. Keep on being you're incredible little self<3
warnings: ocd mentions, mentions of compulsions, matt is extremely soft with you
authors note: this is written for @mattspawprints I hope you enjoy <3
Matt knew about your ocd, and he knew how hard it was to handle when you were little. You thought it was a game sometimes, the counting your steps between each side walk square, you had to have the same amount of steps in each square. You'd wash your hands after touching anything you deemed nasty and unclean. Matt knew it was harder to handle when you were little so he was always there.
He watched as you whimpered, hand recoiling from something you just touched, it was a wet spot on your stuffed animal and it was enough to send your mind spiraling. Matt knew, you looked at him instantly. He smiled kindly, grabbing the stuffed animal, "Let's see what it is yeah?" He said, touching the small wet spot, he did it with no fear, he didn't recoil, "hm," he hummed softly, "seems to be water. And water is safe. So we're safe." Matt explained. It calmed your mind a little but you still wanted to wash your hands.
Matt leaned over to the coffee table, he wouldn't let you wash your hands, it was a compulsion but for now he'd let you use hand sanitizer. He squirted a little on your hands and helped you rub it on. "There, we're all clean, now.." he grabbed your favorite lotion, always applying it after to make sure your hands never got dry. He spread the lotion over your hands and rubbed it in. "There we go. All clean," matt smiled, gently pulling you into his chest.
He held you tightly, smoothing over your arm as you held onto your stuffed animal. You nuzzled into his chest, smiling softly at how comfortable he made you feel. "I'm here, im here.. and you're safe with me." Matt said softly, kissing the top of your head. He was determined to keep you safe, he didn't care what it took, it was his job and he'd do it forever. Anything to calm your little mind and keep you happy. He'd do anything for you. Except give in to your compulsions, of course.
Things I appreciate and love as a little with chronic illness/pain
~★~
- large crayons that are easy to hold, sometimes holding things with a “pencil” grip hurts my hands so it’s easier to have a large chunky crayon to scribble with >:3
- warm drinks (。≖ˇ∀ˇ≖。) any kind of warmth is always helpful for pain, bonus points if it’s in a sippy / baba
- ✨naps✨being chronically tired means it’s always naptime
- gentle play / playing in bed with stuffies 🧸
- comfy clothes like pjs or oversized clothes
- heated stuffies :3 again heat always helps
- pillows that support the body, this helps especially with hyper mobility since it can be difficult to get comfy
- easy medication containers, like ones that say the days of the week, am/pm, etc. (bonus points if they have a cute design ( ˘ ³˘))
- fun bandaids :3 my favorite are the pokemon ones
- nicely scented lotions, floral or sweet scents :o
- my cg and comfort objects as well ofc ˚‧*♡ॢ˃̶̤̀◡˂̶̤́♡ॢ*‧˚
📚Has the most fun reading or learning something new during playtime.
🎓Is given ‘homework’ to do by their CG, and when finished, goes excitedly to CG to show them the completed work!
📜Gets so happy over receiving gold stars and other stickers from CG.
📝Stumbles over big words, because they’re a baby after all. A very smart one!
💡Sits with CG to read books on their favorite subject to lull them to sleep.
📖Always wants to watch movies or shows about their favorite subject with CG!
🖋️Tells CG all the things they know about the subject. The more excited they get, the more their words turn into giggles and babbling, but CG listens so intently anyway.
🧪Loves to be called “little” before the profession of their favorite subject. Like, “little scientist”, “little doctor”, “little historian”, “little biologist”… whatever it may be.
🍎Adores being called "smarty pants", "little genius", and anything related to something they like!
🔢Little one who likes to try on big kid clothes, especially from their CG, and feel so professional!
📊Enjoys school; pretend or in real life!
This was just too cute, haha. I loved making this one, it came out so cutely. Hope everyone enjoys!! Dividers (crayon + drawings) by @dividersnook11 (merged and split some dividers up, however all were made by this user) and (glue and pencils) @cozy-menagerie.
