For the dreamers, the hopers, the ones who long for the comfort of regression… but can’t quite get there.
This flag is for regressors who want to regress — who ache for the softness, the safety, the childlike peace — but find something blocking the way. Whether it’s trauma, dysphoria, anxiety, stress, shame, or just a disconnect you can’t explain… this is for you.
🧸This identity can include neurodivergent regressors, system littles, or anyone who doesn’t experience regression in a linear or “standard” way
job? bills? taxes? hahaha! what are you talking about, silly? my dad is making breakfast, then i was thinking we could go outside again before it gets too hot! then maybe eat some ice cream and watch a movie?
- when i regress voluntarily on my own, i use these methods to help get teeny tiny ! no carer needed !! -
these may be able to help with regression block for some babies :з
1. meditation - closing my eyes or being alone in a quiet safe space and imagining / age dreaming ! sometimes i will speak to myself about things i’m feeling or use affirmations especially if i’ve had a rough day. sometimes this can trigger an upsetty-regression but for me that can be healing and a way for me to process big feelings, you know yourself best and please remember to stay safe and within your comfort zone !!
2. put on nostalgic show compilations - i like to search “(channel) (year) full episodes with commercials” on youtube or google ! of course you can always stream your favorite shows but i love the nostalgia of the adverts and bumpers.
3. take your time - it doesn’t always come immediately, it can be a process sometimes and that’s okay :> don’t rush !
4. if you’re having a babie day, make a daycare schedule - do nap time, snack time, music circle, etc. it can also help to have a pretend daycare teacher, and even if you don’t feel quite small when you start the structure can help to guide you into it :з
5. stay away from social media - it can be distracting and unsafe when you’re trying to get into the little headspace ! for some people it can be helpful to scroll agere insta or tumblr, but i personally do not recommend this as its easy to get caught up doomscrolling !!
6. if you have an iphone use a custom focus - this allows you to make a tiny friendly interface to interact with when you’re trying to get little on all your apple devices. for a tutorial on how to set this up just search “custom focus kids mode iphone tutorial.” if u have any questions setting this up just dm me !! i have this set up on mine :D
7. fake it till u make it - this may feel a bit silly or wrong at first, but just pretending to b teeny can help you actually get into the headspace !
8. as odd as it may sound, listen to a safe agere asmr - for some people this works, for some it doesnt. just make sure the video you find has a sfw tag and is from a trusted creator :>
9. baby einstein - these are sensory video compilations from the early 2000’s. i grew up with them and LOVE them for regression ! they’re so cute and relaxing, they can especially help to regulate when you’re feeling overwhelmed or upset. you can find these on youtube <3
10. set up a playmat on the floor or in a different safe space such as a backyard - a change of scenery / location can work wonders. just make sure you are in a private, comfortable, and safe space !!
thank u for reading !
i hope these tips can help, they help me quite a lot personally <3

every day at 07:00 a.m. sharp, mama starts the process of waking you up by opening the curtains and letting some light in. for the next 30 minutes, you either go back to sleep, stretch, or stare at the ceiling, but sometimes you’re a grumpy little baby. you groan and yawn and complain, saying you don’t want to get up today. but come 07:30, she will sit you up on the bed while she looks for your robe and slippers, giving you a few more moments to get the sleepies out of your system. next, she puts you on her hip and carries you to the kitchen, where she sits you on the counter while she makes you breakfast, although sometimes when you’re feeling extra sleepy and tiny, she gives you a baba in bed. as soon as breakfast is ready, she carries you to the table where she feeds you, saying things like, here comes the airplane, open big for mama, or just one more bite, kiddo. when you’re done with breakfast, she sits you on the couch. sometimes, she lets you watch one episode of bluey while she prepares your bath. during bath time, you play with your toys and draw with your bath crayons, saying, mama, look you and me! she replies, aw my talented little bug. yes, baby, you and mama always and forever. after bath time, you sit on the bed with your hooded towel on while she picks out your outfit. which one do you want to wear today, baby? she holds up two shirts: a hello kitty one and a strawberry shortcake one. strawberry shortcake, please! you say excitedly. then she asks, skirt? pants? overalls, maybe? umm, skirt, you reply. next comes your hair, but you never worry. mama is so, so gentle when doing your hair. she softly detangles your hair with her hands and never ties your hair too tight. today, she went for a pretty updo with some accessories. look at my pretty little bug, she says, fawning over you. come on, let’s go pack your bag so we can start the day. we have a few errands to run today, and after that, mama has a surprise for you.
Agere doesn't need to be conventional and aesthetic to be valid - pt2
☆ Little alters in non-regressor bodies, regressor bodies/hosts with non-little alters and fictives are always welcome
☆ Regressors that don't want cgs and cgs that don't want regressors are perfectly fine
☆ Regression isn't limited to being able-bodied or a certain size. Shoutout to disabled regressors!
☆ Regressing doesn't have an age limit! Many people worry they're too old for it as the majority visible part of the community are minors or early-mid twenties
☆ You don't have to have trauma or a mental condition to regress. If that's your way of de-stressing, it's okay
☆ Of course fictional cgs are accepted and they would absolutely dote on you
☆ It's totally alright if you haven't been able to get into your little space in a while, there's nothing wrong with that or you
☆ Padded regressors get too much unfair hate (not talking about abdl/kink people. Please stay away and dni in that case)
☆ If you're worried you can't find/don't deserve love and friendship because you're a regressor (and it's a secret irl), don't listen to those evil brain worms! You're deserving of everything good and more
You're lovely inside and out. Take care, my doves. Nami loves you ♡♡
˚୨୧⋆｡🌧️ tips for anxious / neurodivergent regressors starting a new school year
✏️ pick cute stationery ( pens, pencils, notebooks, notepads ) that makes you happy ! choose things that you feel excited to use, and that may help you feel a little less overwhelmed or anxious when doing busywork or taking notes. I also love putting cute stickers on my binder and putting cute pins on my backpack.
📚 make task-lists and break down big jobs into smaller jobs. be sure to take little breaks to help you regain focus and avoid burnout.
🌼 spend time outdoors when the weather is nice! wether that's doing your homework on your balcony, choosing to sit outside for lunch, or taking a little walk when you get home, I find that spending time outdoors helps me feel better when I'm stressed with schoolwork. ( also, opening a window a little bit to let in the fresh air is really nice as well ! )
✏️ bring a small stuffed animal, toy or other comfort object with you to hold throughout the day ! if you feel worried about it, you can talk to your counselor about getting a note from the office saying that it's okay incase a teacher asks you about it. Also, if you're worried about being judged, you can always just keep them in your bag until you feel brave enough to have them out with you ( even though in my experience, no one really minds. ) 💛
📚 Put affirmations on the inner-cover of your notebooks, binders, laptop ( if it's a gentle adhesive ) or your planner to remind you how brave and awesome you are! some of my favorites are "your worth isn't determined by your grades" , "you are resilient against academic challenges" and the Winnie the Pooh sticker inside of my planner that says "you can do hard and scary things". ૮꒰ྀི∩´ ᵕ `∩꒱ྀིა
🌼 most importantly, don't be shy to ask for help, extra time on assignments and take advantage of disability recourses! you are not a burden or too much for being disabled or not being able to do things the way everyone else dose.
˚୨୧⋆｡ also : I highly suggest getting a small to-do list pad and some slim folders to keep all of your assignments in. I also really love my clip-folio and use it every day hehe !
okie ! that's all for now. I really hope you have a great year and know that it's okay to feel anxious! everyone gets anxious! it'll be okay hehe! ૮ > o < ྀིა 💛💕 /lh
✧˖°. mama’s baby feeling too big to be little 𝜗𝜚 ‧₊˚
(agere fic, third person, 800 words)
it was a quiet night, mama’s bed smelled like bergamot and lavender. baby was all snuggled up in her jammies, curled against mama’s chest with her favorite stuffie tucked under her arm.
but baby wasn’t as relaxed as she seemed. her body was comfy but her mind was going fast in mean circles, which made her physically ache too. when she shifted, pulling away just a little, mama noticed.
“what’s wrong, bubby?” mama asked softly, brushing her fingers through baby’s hair.
baby didn’t answer right away. she let out a soft exhale through her nose and wiped her cheek quickly, like she had cried without realizing. “...i shouldn’t be here,” she whispered.
mama blinked, confused. “in my bed?”
baby nodded. “i’m too big for this…”
mama frowned gently, sitting up a little so she could look baby in the eyes. “too big for what, sweet girl?”
“all of it,” baby mumbled, her voice wobbling. “too big to be sleeping with mama. too big to need help with every little thing. too big to cry just ‘cause my cup spilled or my show turned off…”
mama’s heart ached.
she reached out and tucked baby’s hair behind her ear. “oh, honey.”
“i feel stupid,” baby added in a rush, like she wanted to get the words out before she chickened out. “like, i know i’m not a real baby. i know i’m not supposed to need this much. it’s just… i do. and then i feel pathetic for needing it.”
baby didn’t look at mama when she said it. she had her head turned down, eyes glossy and cheeks hot with shame.
“sweet girl,” mama says, and presses a warm kiss against her baby’s forehead head. “look at mama.”
baby hesitated, but her teary eyes flicked up. they met mama’s that were gentle, steady, full of love she hadn’t earned and didn’t need to. her lip wobbled again as she used all the energy in her tiny body to hold back sobs.
mama’s voice was so soft. “you’re allowed to need. you’re allowed to want to be little. and you’re never stupid for that.”
baby shook her head, just once. “but i am. i’m big, mama. i’m supposed to take care of myself. but i still wanna whine when my juice spills, or cry when i get overwhelmed, or crawl into your bed like a baby just ‘cause i feel scared.”
“and all of that is okay,” mama said gently. “you know what i see when you do those things?”
baby sniffled, eyes focused like she wants to believe mama.
“i see a little girl who never got to feel safe enough to be soft. i see a heart that’s learning, slowly, that she doesn’t have to be strong all the time. i see someone brave enough to let herself need.”
baby let out a trembling breath. she pressed her forehead into mama’s shoulder, small fingers grabbing the edge of mama’s shirt like she didn’t know how to say ‘please hold me’. but mama already knew.
she was already wrapping her arms around her baby girl, already rocking her gently.
“you’re allowed to be little here, bubby. you don’t have to prove anything. not to me. not to anyone.”
“but… what if people think i’m weird?” baby mumbled.
“then they don’t get to be close to you,” mama said firmly. “but i will always be here. and i will always love you, big or little, clingy or quiet, crying or giggling. those people who don’t care, don’t understand, or don’t want to try—they just don’t know how to value your big aching heart. you’re so precious, so sensitive, so loving. so, so beautiful. and if they don’t see you, it’s their loss.”
“even if i feel like a burden?”
mama held her tighter. “you’re my bubby. and you are the best kind of burden. the kind mama wants to hold. every day. every moment. i want to baby you. because you deserve it.”
and that was the moment baby melted. her soft little cries came back, messy and quiet, as she buried herself in her mama completely.
“see, baby girl? you think you’re too big but you fit just right in mama’s arms.”
baby lets out a half-sob, half-giggle at mama’s reassuring words. and mama was right. baby’s so snug against mama’s body, like they were meant to find each other, like perfect tiny puzzle pieces held together with love.
“mama?” baby said, her face still hidden.
“yes, baby bun?”
“i love being mama’s little girl.” baby said. “you’re the only home i’ve ever had.” mama’s breath caught, and for the first time that night, it was her turn to blink away tears.
they stayed in each others arms, baby’s soft breaths floated against mama’s soothing rubs as the night drifted away.
