boundaries between a regressor and caregiver - what are they and how to put them in place ! [a guide]

i often get people in my inbox saying "quinny i wanna ask my bf/gf/friend/etc to be my cg!!" which is great and awesome !! i'm so happy you found someone who you feel safe enough to regress with !! but, you little ones need to be mindful that finding someone to be your caregiver is only half the journey!!

so, here is a [mostly] compressive guide to agere boundaries !!

What are boundaries?

In simple terms, boundaries are the invisible lines we draw for our friends/family/significant other so we can feel respected in relationships!

These can be emotional, with examples such as :

Please don't discuss [insert triggering subject] when I'm present

Please don't shame my interests

Please don't lie to me

These can also be physical, which examples such as :

Please don't hold my hand without asking

Please don't sneak up behind me

Please rush me while I'm speaking

Boundaries are cool!! Can I have some?!

Of course you can kid! Boundaries are for everyone!

How can I set my boundaries?

Well first, you have to identify what your boundaries are! This is fairly easy!! Ask yourself some of the following questions,

Do I feel safe when [insert a specific action] occurs near me?

Do I feel loved when [insert a specific action] occurs near me?

[Examples of actions can include; yelling, lying, raising voices, etc etc.]

Once you figure out what your boundaries are, you can start vocalizing them! It might feel scary at first, but in the long run it'll lead to healthy communication and relationships :)

Find a time to sit with your regressor/caregiver to discuss both your boundaries, allow the conversation to be a two way street- be open to listening to your partners boundaries and answering questions [within reason].

This does not mean to allow your partner to pick and choose which of your boundaries they listen too. It simply means be open to further explaining how they can respect your boundaries- this could be a learning process for both of you !!

How do boundaries apply to caregivers and regressor relationships?

Let us get one thing clear, boundaries apply to every type of relationship. You and your boss at work, you and your teachers, you and your second cousin's dog walker...every type of relationship has boundaries because well, everyone has boundaries!

Regressors are allowed to have boundaries.

Caregivers are allowed to have boundaries.

It's important that we communicate these boundaries with our regressor/caregiver otherwise an incident can occur that can lead to an unhealthy/unhappy littlespace/carerspace.

Common boundaries that regressors may have :

Don't swear when I'm regressed

Don't shout at/around me when I'm regressed

Don't touch me on my [insert body part]

Common boundaries that caregivers may have :

I'm not comfortable with helping you [insert task]

I'm not comfortable discussing [insert topic] when you're regressed

I need space before I'm ready to properly caregive

if you've vocalized your boundaries yet find that there is a cycle of them being disregarded, then you may not be in a safe dynamic :(

Regression Block:

Why does it happen?

Regression block is something that happens to a lot of people, right? But why exactly does it happen?

According to something that I had recently read and quite honestly agree with. A regression block happens when you don't need to cope anymore. You're busy coping in other ways, whether it's busying yourself with work or school. Even just keeping yourself occupied with hobbies!

We sometimes forget that regressing isn't the only safe coping mechanism we have. The majority of regressors tend to rely on regression as their main coping mechanism.

Here's a list of other safe coping mechanisms

that you can use instead:

— Listening to music

— Playing an instrument

— Drawing / painting

— Going for a walk

— Reading

— Journaling

— Taking a shower/bath

— Cleaning / organizing your safe space

— Calling a friend

— Watching a comedy movie / show

— Watching funny videos

— Knitting / Crocheting

If you're not a fan of these, your hobby is a coping mechanism !!

[miraculous-icons]

What are the different agere roles? I keep trying to search it on Google but it just keeps showing weird stuff that's unrelated to agere

age regression roles/terms

age regressor

a person who mentally regresses to a younger age, as a way to cope with trauma, stress, anxiety, and/or as a way to heal their inner child. it can be voluntary or involuntary. often accompanied with little gear. most often referred to as a "little".

pet regressor

a person who mentally regresses to the mindset of an animal, usually a small animal, in the same way one would regress to a younger age.

caregiver

a person who looks after regressors, most often referred to as mama/mommy or dada/daddy. they can however, be called anything that both the little and carer are comfortable with.

flip

a person who is both a regressor and a caregiver.

pet owner

a person who looks after pet regressors, can also just be referred to as a caregiver.

babysitter

a person who temporarily babysits and takes care of one or more regressors and/or pets.

sibling regressor

also referred to as a sibby or sib. in age regression terms, a sibling is a friend who you share a bond with and sometimes regress with. they are often referred to as a big sib/sibby if their regression age is older than your own, and a little sib/sibby if their reqgression age is younger, you can also go off of real ages if your regression ages are similar/the same orif you have an age gap friendship and it makes you more comfortable. you can also use gendered terms like sis, sissy, sister, bro, brother, bubby, ect.

little gear

little gear refers to physical items that help someone regress. littles often use items such as stuffed animals, adult-sized pacifiers, sippy cups, large baby bottles with adult-sized nibs, onesies, and childrens shows. pet regressors may use items such as ears and tails of the animal(s) they regress to and pet/chew toys.

hope this answers your question!

Hii, I really hope I'm not bothering you with asking this. But I've gotten to see quite a bit of post about age-regression? Is that how I'm supposed to type it?? Sorry if I typed that wrong, especially if that made you uncomfortable. English is not my first language. Anyway, I was wondering, I guess, what age-regression is? Cause like I said, I saw I lot of it, both recently and in the past. But I've also gotten told in the past, well, not any good things about the people who age-regress? I'm not saying I agree with those things I got told. Those weren't any nice things, so yeah. However, if others aren't hurting me, themselves, or other people, then I usually leave most people alone. But in short, I'm curious and want to know more? Cause, well good sources are good. If that's okay? If not, you can just delete and forget about this. Sorry if I made you uncomfortable. Have a good day or night!

☁️ what is age regression? ☁️

(long post); a TLDR at the bottom

Hey anon! Thank you so much for stopping by to ask your question. I'll be answering it for you today -🧸 Hawks.

first of all, I'd like to say that yes, you did type it right! English isn't our first language either, so we understand! People also may spell "age regression" as "agere" which is just a shorter version of it. So when someone spells it that way, they're the same thing./information

-Now, what is age regression? What's it used for? :

age regression is, in short, a coping mechanism where people may mentally regress to a younger age than themselves physically. Example, let's say person A is an age regressor. They are 20 years old. But regress to a much younger age. Like 3-6 years old. Age regression is very different with every person who does it, so that doesn't mean a single person has to regress the same age. Someone could regress to be a newborn, another can regress to be a middle (which is around 10-teenager age) if I'm not wrong. Anyone can regress to any age, depending the person. Age regression is a healthy way to cope. Age regression is a professional therapist recommended coping mechanism, and it does not hurt the user who does it, or anyone around them. Age regression can also be for fun. Some, if not, majority regressors do regress due to trauma. To restore their childhood that they never had. Or to relive a childhood they wish they had. Whiles others who may do it for fun, doesn't have to use their regression as a coping mechanism. Hey can age regression because hey, it's fun to do! And so it's isn't something that you can only do if you have trauma. Everyone can do it. Trauma related or not

- is age regression harmful/bad?

⚠️ Tw/CW: ageplay talk ⚠️

Not at all! People whom may tell you that "regression is bad because ___!" Is usually the ones who don't do research. Age regression is a safe-for-work coping mechanism. Which means it's never sexual, or a kink. Alot of people who aren't in the community will assume age regression is just a kink thing, and that is untrue! Many people will get "ageplay/ddlg" mixed with age regression. While age regression is never inappropriate, and is appropriate for all ages to do, ageplay is a kink to.. hopefully just something adults do. Ageplay, is a BDSM kink where someone will pretend to be a younger child while their partner, whom they'd usually call: daddy/mommy/whatever title, they will do inappropriate things with them.

Meanwhile, age regression is a lot different. Like I said, agere is a safe for work coping mechanism. And NO little, (which is whom we call someone who age regresses) will pretend to be a child for sexual reasons. When someone age regresses, they mentally revert back to a much younger age and sometimes can't even do things they'd normally do when big (which is what we call them when they aren't in a regressed state anymore). They physically (mentally physically,) regress to an age of a child. And the difference between that and ageplay, someone who participates in ageplay will never mentally regress to a younger age. They pretend to be, for sexual desires and kinks. They do it on purpose for sexual pleasure, while people who age regress can't consent at all when they're little. Since they actually do regress mentally to mostly 10 and under. (But even if they regressed around being in their teens), they still can't consent.

-some popular titles (that you may want to know)

What is a caregiver?: A caregiver, is someone who will take care of the little when they're regressed. A caregiver can take on a father role, mother role, sister, brother, etc. (Solely depending how the little sees them/and how the cg would like to be called)

What is a little?: A little is someone who age regresses

What is a flip?: A flip, is someone who regresses, AND is a caregiver.

what is a pet?: While I'm not saying pets are the same as age regression, it does exist. An age regressor may regress, but may also be a pet regressor (or) someone isn't a little but be a pet regressor instead. pet regressors has very similar concept with age regression. While age regressors regress to a younger age mentally, pet regressors will regress to an animal. (Ex; cat, dog, bird, deer, dragon, fawn, list goes on) and just like age regression, is SFW

TLDR; Age regression is a SFW coping mechanism that is therapist recommended and is not at all harmful to them, or others. Age regression can also be used for fun and doesn't have to be trauma based to regress. All ages, genders, sexualities, races can regress. Age regress is for everyone and isn't something only feminine, petite or hot pink lovers can enjoy. Everyone can regress no matter what anyone says about it.

I don't know alot of resources to direct you to, but I wouldn't really recommend google either. Google is a "trust me bro" and "he said she said" deal. It'll tell you false things and it'll mix age regression with something completely different. But I find # agere resources tag a very helpful place to scroll in. So I'd recommend checking there if anything answers anymore questions you have. Hope this answers your question, anon. Feedback is amazing so if you have any more questions or anything, let me know

hi i'm Minnow or Mini He/It i was wondering what a petre and agere is i don't know and it sounds interesting if you could explain i wanna know but if you don't want to that's okay to

hello Minnow!

agere and petre are are both a bit of a complicated term, so i will insert a google definition as well as my own.

agere-

Fin says:

agere, the shortened term for "age regression" is commonly known as a coping mechanism where one reverts back to a younger mindset. one may use "gear" while regressing, sure as a pacifier, teether, a crinkley blanket, etc. people go back to many ages, from 1 year old all the way to even a young adult. It is both voluntary and involuntary. there are also "caregivers" in this community which take care of littles/age regressors. sometimes, people do what we call "age dreaming" which is where you act like a younger person, instead of actually mentally regressing. (thats me!)

Google says:

"Age regression is a mental and emotional state where a person's thoughts, emotions, and behaviors revert to an earlier stage of development. This can include a few years younger than their current age, or even to a child- or infant-like state. Age regression can be voluntary or involuntary, and can present differently for each person."

petre-

Fin says:

petre, short for "Pet regression", is connected to age regression but it is not the same. petre is where someone regresses to an animal like or pet like mindset. one may use gear while regressing such as a chew toy, a scratching post, or a collar. people regress to many different animals! like age regressing, pet regression has a dreaming side to it, where one acts like a pet/animal instead of actually regressing mentally.

Google says:

"Pet regression is a coping mechanism where a person regresses to a more animalistic mindset. This can involve adopting animalistic behaviors, such as crawling, barking, or meowing. Pet regressors may also enjoy being petted, scratched, or groomed."

it is very important to note that agere and petre both are not related to any k/nks, fet/shes or N/S/F/W things. age and pet regression is completely sfw.

Caregivers:

How they're treated nowadays

From what I've noticed and experienced a little myself, caregivers are treated as if they're replaceable.

No, this doesn't mean that everyone does. But a lot of people do.

Caregivers are treated as if they're robots, ai chats, and even just as a backup option in case their current relationship/dynamic doesn't work out

Something to remember is that carers are real people with real emotions, not people you only talk to when it benefits you because you're regressed or something.

When trying to find a new carer, you shouldn't talk to two different people at once, whether they know or not. The whole time, they might be wondering if you're thinking about the other person while texting them. They might expect you to stop showing interest in them, and in the end, you probably don't end up with either of them. You shouldn't "keep your options open" to see if you click or not with the 1st person and keep the 2nd around as a backup.

[lemonys-place]

heyyy gentlest reminder, my friends, that you do not have to disclose your trauma and mental illnesses to justify your age regression. it's perfectly fine to regress/dream "just because" and strangers are not entitled to your sensitive information/past just because they want to validate it FOR you. don't let anyone make you feel like you have to explain yourself just for coping/soothing/self-parenting in a way that feels good + healing for YOU. there is no criteria to meet to be yourself!

but also, it IS sensitive information and there are some people around the community especially predators who will use that information to get closer to you and/or hurt you. so please practice internet safety, be careful who you share your details with, and block ANYONE who doesn't seem right or play nice.

protect your space and be safe everyone! 🙏
