how to make your little go into little space 🦆
🍼 colour with them and/or compliment their colouring.
🍼 take them out on little themed dates.
🍼 watch cartoons with them.
🍼 hold their hand when crossing the road.
🍼 pick out clothes and dress them.
🍼 get their pacifier for them. (if they have one).
🍼 let them suck on your thumb.
🍼 tell them bedtime stories at night.
🍼 run them a bath and play with them in the water.
🍼 spend a day with them to do a sort of princess/prince day.
🍼 tell them to look both ways when crossing the road.
🍼 have a tea party with their stuffies and them.
🍼 treat their stuffies like they’re real (e.g. “does {stuffies name} want some food too?” “is {stuffies name} tired too?”
🍼 watch disney movies with them.
🍼 let them sit on your lap.
🍼 treat them as if they were little.
🍼 call them pet/nicknames.
🍼 cut up their food for them and fill their sippy cup for them. (if they have one).
🍼 tell them they’re too little to do something that they would usually do when they’re big.
🍼 tie their shoes for them when going out.
🍼 buy them a new stuffie/toy/paci/sippy/any little thing they like when you’re out shopping.
🍼 don’t act like they’re annoying you.
🍼 tell them that you’re proud of them/give them small rewards for things like cleaning up without being asked to.
🍼 refer to yourself as the name they call you. (e.g. “daddy/mommy/caregiver loves you very much” “you’re going to do that for daddy/mommy/caregiver?”) (this helps a lot for me!).
🍼 pick them up whenever you can.
falling into a little space is different for everyone. not all of these things will work for every little, and there are way more that’ll work for different people. these are just some of the ones that make me feel little.
