Responsibilities of a Caregiver
Being a caregiver is about providing emotional safety, consistency, affection, and structure.
Always respect boundaries.
Be consistent — show up when you say you will.
Let them know they’re safe and never judged in headspace.
2. Know Their Regression Style
What age range or pet type they regress to
Triggers and comfort items
Things they love/hate during regression
Preferred names (e.g., “little one,” “puppy,” etc.)
3. Establish Clear Communication
Use “check-ins” like: “How are you feeling right now?” or “Would you like some little time?”
Have a system for when they want to regress and when they don’t (safe words, emojis, etc.)
Be able to spot non-verbal signs of distress
Regression often stems from emotional overwhelm. Be soft-spoken, validate their feelings, and avoid raising your voice.
“It’s okay to feel little.”
Gently redirect tantrums or overstimulation.
Offer choices: “Would you like juice or water?”
Always stay calm and don’t shame regressed behaviors.
Here are some wholesome places to learn more:
Tumblr tags like #agere #petre #caregiver
Discord servers (should be 18+ if you're an adult, or underage-only if you're a minor — NEVER mix communities, especially at the cost of people's comfort.)
Never post about them or share pictures without consent.
Be very careful with roleplay that mimics parenting — always make sure it’s mutual and safe.
Age regression/pet regression should always remain non-sexual
Tips for Handling Regression Crises
Sometimes regressors have meltdowns, flashbacks, or anxiety.
Use grounding words like “You’re safe,” “Breathe with me”
Offer a familiar item (blanket, toy)
Move them to a quiet space
Dim lights or use soothing sounds
Don’t leave them alone unless they ask
Respect Non-Regression Time
They’re not always “little” or “pet” — don’t force the dynamic.
You’re not a parent or therapist.
Offer comfort, not control or discipline.
Don’t infantilize them in adult mode.
Ask about triggers and avoid them.
Make sure you keep boundaries in mind.
Do NOT Purposefully trigger your little/pet. this is a major red flag and will doom you to the fate of being a person who is problematic.
