Had a bad day? Give your stuffie a hug!

Had a good day? Give your stuffie a hug!

Had a boring day? Give your stuffie a hug!

Just woke up? About to go to sleep? Feeling big? Feeling little? Feeling anything or nothing at all? Give your stuffie a hug!

Don’t have a stuffie? That’s okay! Give yourself a hug!

i would be so much more motivated to exercise if they had adult sized playgrounds. the gym is simply not interesting to me nor a place i really wanna be. i want to swing on the swings and climb across monkey bars and slide down slides and play on the seesaw and so much more. why must everything be so boring.

-> Try to physically get the energy out. Run around, do as many push ups as you can or stay in a plank until you have to fall. They sound silly, but it can help get the tension out.

-> Allow yourself to release the emotions. Crying is okay, yelling into a pillow is okay- just being angry is okay.

-> If you struggle with being able to use nice hands on yourself or others, find fidget toys to distract yourself with. Stress balls can be especially good, because you can give them lots of big squeezes!

-> Create a communication card if you’re prone to lashing out at others. Instead of trying to engage in a conversation where you know you can’t be kind, prepare something ahead of time. Picsart can be a very good tool for creating simple cards like that!

-> Write in a journal or talk to your stuffies about any mean or harsh thoughts you can’t tell others- your stuffies won’t tell anyone, promise!

-> Identify triggers to try and avoid them, or find management for them. Writing down what upsets you can be helpful to reflect back on and learn from.

-> Always remember that you aren’t a bad teeny for having big feelings. It’s okay to be angry, to have tantrums, to not know what to say or do. You can navigate this- you are strong and valuable. ♡

Toys/Stuffies PSA!

Here’s a few things I wanted to remind you about your toys and plushies! It’s important to remember!

✨ Your toys love you so much!!! You are their best friend, don’t forget that!

✨ Toy Story is fictional! Your toys don’t feel sad or upset when you don’t play with them for a while! They understand, and they’re happy regardless. When you get new toys, they’re happy to have new friends!

✨ Stuffies need to be washed. Make sure you give them a nice warm, relaxing bath occasionally. Stuffies don’t breathe like we do, so they enjoy being soaked underwater sometimes. They’re also very flexible! Ringing water out of them and scrubbing them is like a nice massage!

✨ They like the washer and dryer! It’s like a theme park ride! Just make sure it’s gentle, you don’t want them getting hurt!

✨ If you wake up, and a plushie is on the floor, don’t feel bad! That means they went on a super secret mission to make sure there were no monsters hiding anywhere

✨ There are plenty of ways to play! There is no one way to play, so don’t feel bad if you don’t interact with your toys the same way as someone else, or even if you don’t have any toys! Here’s a post on some non pretend play ideas!

✨ If you can’t keep a toy, don’t worry, they’re not upset! It’s just the beginning of a new adventure for them!

✨ It’s okay if you struggle to give your toys names and personalities! As long as you like them, that’s what matters!

Personally, I love thrifting my plushies and toys! It’s like reaching an animal from a shelter, versus a pet store! :3 all toys deserve love 🩵

-> Your regression is not embarrassing.

-> You have nothing to be ashamed for.

-> You are not “gross” or “creepy”.

-> No one is owed an explanation of how or why you regress the way you do.

-> Cruel words are not a reflection of you.

-> Your caregiver is not judging you.

-> Your babbles and mannerisms are adorable and full of sweetness, not weird.

-> You deserve to express your regression in ways that feel best to you.

-> It’s okay if your regression doesn’t align with what “common”. It’s your own, and other people don’t get to police what you do or don’t do with it.

some little daily reminders! <3

check in with your body!

♡ take a big deep breath!

♡ drop your shoulders

♡ unclench your jaw

♡ relax your eyebrows

♡ stretch your arms above your head if you can!

♡ wiggle your fingers and toes! (bonus points if you do a full body wiggle!)

drink some water

♡ even just a few sips if you can!

clean your paci(s)!

♡ wash thoroughly with soap and water before each use

♡ you can get pacifier wipes at dollar tree or on amazon!

♡ if you are big enough, you can boil your pacis for 5 minutes on the stove (be careful!)

How to feel tiny

Sometimes, regressing can be tricky. A lot of the first few years of life focus a lot on learning. If you have already learned what the material, your grown-up brain might want to take over, making it hard to enjoy toddler activities.

🟦If you want the experience of learning preschool/kindergarten material again, try learning your shapes, colors, the alphabet, months of the year, or days of the week in another language! You can use fun songs or games to help.

🖍️If you want to experience developing motor skills again, try using your non dominate hand. You can try coloring, learning to write your name, or do basic scissor worksheets. (Please be careful with the scissors!)

🐻If you want to explore and learn science, try learning about animals. Shows like Wild Kratts and Octonauts can be genuinely educational for "grown up" brains. You can also check out books about animals from the library!

🫂Learn social-emotional and coping skills that are appropriate for children. There are many YouTube videos for yoga or meditation for kids. Shows such as Bluey, Author, or Carl the collector are some of my favorites and focus on social skills.

☀️If you want to feel physically tiny, try getting on the floor. Remember when your body was small and everything around you looked big? That was perspective! You can achieve something similar by being on the ground. Just make sure to listen to your body and take breaks if it hurts. You can also cover yourself with a blanket to focus less on your size.

Michael's is such a great place to get littlespace activities. They have tons of different craft kits for under $10. It's also where I get all my pretty stickers.

I've been keeping my pacis in one of those clear glasses cases you get when you first get your glasses, and it was very plain, so I decided to decorate it. I think it looks very pretty now.

Adding this to the idea list with bubbles and catching fireflies. I love summer so much so many fun things to do.

☀️🌈 SFW ONLY 🏖🛝

Now that spring and summer is coming up I think a fun regression activity could be to get some chalk and draw on the sidewalk or your drive way. I used to do that all the time as a kid.

𝙱𝚎𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚊 𝚛𝚎𝚐𝚛𝚎𝚜𝚜𝚘𝚛 𝚠𝚒𝚝𝚑𝚘𝚞𝚝 𝚊 𝚌𝚊𝚛𝚎𝚐𝚒𝚟𝚎𝚛!

Making a bag full of stuff you use when small so it's ready for you.

Making your bed and cleaning your sheets because your stuffies need you to.

Eating small snacks when you feed your pets so they aren't eating alone.

Taking a bath/shower because being smelly isn't fun.

Using weighted stuffies and blankets so it feels like your being held.

Going to bed at a reasonable hour because you don't want to keep your stuffies awake all night.

Putting your drawings and colorings in your journal so you can look at them later.

Making your own drinks because you are the only one who can do it right anyway.

Finding agere content and living vicariously through others.

Constantly reassuring yourself with notes, voice memos, moodboards, vision boards, and Ted talks.

🌷 really just want nothing more than to be reduced to a giggly mess of a baby wjabdjs being coo'd at and made to laugh and giggle .. dada or big sister playing with me and making silly noises and faces to make me laugh more wjabdjs

🌷 just that pure childish laugh and then to be hugged and cuddled, "oh you're just such a silly baby! that's all you do is just laugh and giggle huh?"

I got a new paci and paci clip a few days ago. They are sooo cute!! I got to use it for the first time last night and I love it! I think i might decorate a case to keep this one and my other paci in.

🌸 It’s Okay to Keep Your Little Side Private 🌸

Hi, everyone. Just a reminder that if you’re feeling scared to share your little side with your friends, I want you to know that that’s okay. Your little self is precious, soft, and special—it belongs to you, and you get to decide who sees that part of you.

You don’t have to tell anyone if you’re not ready. You don’t have to share it at all if it doesn’t feel safe. Being in the “little closet” isn’t a bad thing—it’s just another way of protecting your heart.

What matters most is that you feel comfortable, happy, and secure. Whether you express your little self openly or keep it just for you, your feelings are real, your needs are valid, and you are still completely lovable and worthy of support.

Take your time, little one. There’s no rush, no pressure. You are enough just as you are, and your little side is a beautiful part of you—whether the world sees it or not.

Sending you all the warmest cuddles and gentlest reassurance. You’re not alone. You’re safe. And you are so, so loved. 💖✨
