disclaimer: this may not apply to every little. everyone is unique and different - these are only tips ive thought of from my personal experience or from talking with other littles.
🌸treat your little like a learning baby! littles love to feel, well, little! ask them things like, “what shape/colour is this?” while pointing to various objects. ask them to count things for you or ask them if they know what an object is. when you see animals, you could ask things like, “what sound does that animal make? do you know the name of that animal?”
🌸call your little sweet pet names! this is very unique to each little, so dont be afraid to ask them what their favourite pet names are. some good ones are: prince/princet/princess, baby/baby girl/babg boy, little one/little boy/little girl, cutie, sweetie, sweet pea, and more!
🌸praise them! if your little does something like clean their room/wash up/clean the dishes etc., praise them (and don’t just say “good”, we love it when you go overboard! shower your little in te most praise you can produce!) bonus points if they do these things without asking!
🌸rules! this is one that is definitely specific to each little - some want rules and some do not. you will have to ask your little if this is something they want before making rules! that being said, having rules provides structure and makes some littles feel very loved. some rules i like are: eat at least 2 meals a day, clean up after myself (clothes, toys etc), always talk to daddy when im sad (or he cant help me!), no sugar after 10pm, drink at least 1 glass of water a day.
🌸help your little get dressed! it makes them feel small and dependent on you! this is something that not all littles will be comfortable with, so be sure to ask first and talk about it with your little.
🌸have your little hold your hand when crossing the streets! its another thing that will make your little feel safe and small.
🌸cook for your baby, or help them cut up their food! for me personally, i always have my daddy cut my food up, but thats also because i suck at it!! it always makes me feel very small and babyish 💗
🌸talk to them like theyre a baby! this is not something all littles enjoy, but personally i enjoy a lot and helps me regress easily.
🌸cradle them! when im sad or sleepy, sometimes my daddy will cradle me in his arms and rock me. its very comforting and loving!!
🌸sing to them! its okay if you think you have a bad singing voice - your little wont care, and will probably think its great! the important part is that its you singing to them, and its very comforting!
🌸read them bedtime stories! this is another very comforting thing for most littles, and i even enjoy it when im big :)
🌸when theyre sad or anxious, have them listen to your heartbeat. this is probably the most calming thing for me when i’m upset, and it makes me feel very connected to my daddy 💝
