dinosaur fun facts ; ♡⋆*

The word “dinosaur” came from the Greek words dienos (“terrible”) and sauros (“reptile”).

There were actually reptiles on Earth before dinosaurs. Before the first first dinosaurs walked the Earth about 230 million years ago, the earth was dominated by reptiles known as archosaurs and therapsids.

Scientists speculate that some large dinosaurs like the Apatosaurus lived as long as 300 years.

Many dinosaur skulls had big holes that both made them lighter and helped to keep them cool.

The first dinosaur ever named was the Megalosaurus, named in 1824 by Reverend William Buckland.

Dinosaur remains have been found on every continent, even Antarctica.

Many scientists believe that there are still lots of dinosaurs that haven’t been discovered yet.

The Tyrannosaurus (“Tyrant Lizard”) had the longest teeth of any carnivorous dinosaur at 8 inches.

Most scientists agree that modern birds evolved from dinosaurs, specifically a group of dinosaurs known as theropods (“beast footed”).

giving them a bedtime

this is helpful if you have a little who forgets or has trouble going to sleep at a reasonable time.

taking medicine

this can be important in many situations whether your little one takes daily medicine or is just taking it for a short time, they most likely need that medicine and its important for them to take it.

showering and brushing teeth

sometimes its hard to remember to take care of your body, but it’s important you do.

drinking water

i know this one is especially helpful for me, because otherwise i dont drink water. but it’s important that you drink water,, your body will thank you!

remember to always keep both parties (cg and little or just little) comfortable while making rules!! you dont want to control their life, rules are just to help out.

What is age regression? ; ♡⋆*

i went to multiple websites to put together the best definition of age regression as possible. each website described reverting to a child like state of mind whether that be infant or a few years younger than you are.

Some noteworthy sources

“Age regression therapy involves acting younger than you are, whether that is only a few years younger than your current age or returning to a child-like or infant-like state.” webmd.com

“Age regression occurs when someone reverts to a younger state of mind. This retreat may be only a few years younger than the person’s physical age. It could also be much younger, into early childhood or even infancy.” healthline.com

What is age regression used for?

Sigmund Freud believed age regression was an unconscious defense mechanism. it was a way that someone could protect themself from trauma, stress, anger, or other negative emotions and reactions.

other psychologists think of age regression as a way for people to achieve a therapeutic goal. it can be useful to help a patient remember and heal memories of trauma or painful events. while each theories exists of what exactly age regression is, they all fall into different categories.

types of age regression

as a symptom

age regression could be the result of a medical or mental issue. for example, some people experience large amounts of distress or pain and they may revert to child like behaviors to help deal with these things they are feeling.

certain mental health issues make regression more likely. it could be a symptom of DID (and other forms of this), schizophrenia, PTSD, BPD, dementia, and other mental disorders.

clinically

age regression can be used in a therapeutic setting. some mental health professionals use age regression to help their patients return to painful and traumatizing periods of their life.

once regressed, this can help them overcome the trauma and heal their inner child. this practice is controversial because some experts suggest it could be possible to remember falsely in this state of mind.

self-help

for other people, age regression may be an intentional technique. some people regress to help with stress or worry. they can also revert to a younger age to avoid tough issues or personal problems.

age regression may help you to revert to a time in your life when you felt loved, secure, and cared for. this can help regression to be a positive experience.

why people use adult pacifiers ; ♡⋆*

these are just a few examples of why people may use adult pacifiers. please feel free to comment anything i missed!

original use

adult pacifiers were originally created for those with mental health conditions such as developmental disorders. they were created to help people self soothe. this is also seen in habits suck as smoking a cigarette, chewing the tip of a pen, sucking on your thumb, and other forms of self soothing. though these habits aren’t always the healthiest options.

people with disorders, to name a few, autism, anxiety, ADHD, OCD, and depression tend to self soothe or self stimulate more than others. Adult pacifiers were created as a positive and healthy way to help these people self soothe and help avoid developing an unhealthy habit. A much more common self stimulation tool is chewelry (chewable jewelry).

oral fixations

and oral fixation describes a stage of development where a child will have an obsession with stimulation of the mouth. this is also known more commonly as the teething stage. in later years, the psychological field discovered that this behavior can continue into adulthood just as self soothing behavior can.

this is what causes people to develop negative habits such as smoking, nail biting, vaping, overeating, and other habits. these habits can be incredibly difficult to overcome without a healthy replacement. this is where the self soothing of an adult pacifier comes into play. adult pacifiers can be a healthy alternative by satisfying the urge to chew and/or suck on something.

improved sleep

as i have already stated, pacifier use in infants or adults is soothing. therefore it only makes sense that it would help in relaxing and falling asleep. many adults using pacifiers reported that their quality of sleep improved as well as feeling more rested when they woke up.

in addition to improving sleep quality and falling asleep, adult pacifiers have also been shown to improve symptoms of sleep disorders. this includes but is not limited to, insomnia, snoring, and chronic nightmares. many people who use CPAP machines for snoring or sleep apnea dislike how restricting the machine is. with a pacifier, you are free to sleep in whatever position you like while still lessening or even getting rid of symptoms.

mental illness

DID - people with dissociative identity disorder (DID) or other disorders that cause alters to form, they may have child alters who use pacifiers. while these alters may be kids, the body is not and would need to use an adult pacifier to prevent harming the teeth or jaw. 

Anxiety - there is not a lot of information or research out there when it comes to adults with anxiety using an adult pacifier. this makes it hard to say whether an adult pacifier would help everyone with anxiety, but some people use it as a big resource to treat anxiety.

rabbit fun facts ; ♡⋆*

- they can turn their ears 180 degrees, and because of this they can pinpoint the exact location of a sound.

- bunnies ‘binky’ when they’re happy. you’ll know a rabbit is binkying because the happy hop in the air, twist of the body, and kicking of the feet look unmistakably like pure joy.

- rabbits have almost 360 degree vision but they are born with their eyes shut.

- young rabbits that don’t have enough space to run about are more likely to break bones, according to studies. this is because they don’t get the right opportunities to build up their bodies properly.

- baby rabbits are called “kittens”.

- rabbits groom themselves like cats do.
