🧼 how to tackle hygiene problems when small

⊹ as somebody who struggles a lot with hygiene, it's tough for me to do the same when little, but heres my personal list of tips that make it slightly easier for me! (this focuses mostly on bathtime + brushing teeth!)

Bath / Shower time ! 🛁 ⋆ buying bath toys ⋆ bubble baths! ⋆ fun smelling shampoo ⋆ having cute towels ⋆ (if comfortable) have a caregiver join you ⋆ bath bombs! ⋆ Take your other toys / plushies in the bath with you! (make sure the toys are clean beforehand hand / that there safe to be in the water ) ⋆ bath stickers ⋆ bathtime crayons ⋆ scented shampoos / soap to relax you ⋆ If you dont/can't stay in the shower too long, you should just focus mainly on hair, and then clean your body with soap once!

Brushing your teeth! 🪥 ⟡ kid toothbrushes and toothpaste ⟡ ^ flavoured toothpaste ⟡ remembering the tooth fairy will appreciate you brushing your teeth! ⟡ Pokemon Smile - An app that uses Pokemon to help brush your teeth! ⟡ Have your caregiver brush their teeth at the same time ⟡ Diy crafting a mini toothbrush and making your stuffie / toys brush their teeth as well

💖 Rewards / Misc tips!

❥ Rewarding yourself, When I'm done having a bath I reward myself with a dessert or coloring in page! ❥ Heres a rewards chart about bathing and brushing teeth! ❥ If you struggle with starting tasks, break them down into parts. for example- A certain task can take up to 30 minutes, but that's just 10 minutes tripled!!

Anyone knows how to help a little who struggles with flashbacks and panic/anxiety attacks?

Every tips/sources you know are welcome in comments or to be sent in private.

I struggle a lot lately and it’s persisting I’m starting to lose hole for recovery :(

[little-saw]

tips to caring for littles who suffer from:

emotional dysregulation, hyper empathy,

and harsh moodswings !!

• develop grounding techniques to bring your little back to earth when they spiral. (breathing exercises, hand squeezing, observation games, etc.)

• remind them that what they're feeling is only big right now, and will pass.

• offer reassurance and spend time with them. Do not get angry if your little is easily upset or agitated.

• if the source of the moodswing or dysregulation is removable, try to get your little or the cause away from the other.

• find distractions to help your baby cope. (tv, games, toys, coloring, etc.)

• offer to talk with them about their big feelings and / or listen.

• if they're comfortable with it, take over bigger tasks and set down rules to prevent harm. (Ex: earlier bedtimes, no exceptions.)

• show love towards your little, and communicate your feelings aswell.

• encourage your little to be open about their moodswings the moment they have them. Preventing further damage or fear for both parties.

• if your little is experiencing hyper empathy towards another party, assure them they're a good person for feeling on the other's behalf, but remind them that they're their own person.

• if your little is neglecting themselves for others, step in and stop them from doing so if safe.

As someone who experiences big emotions very quickly, and has symptoms of hyper empathy as well as bpd. I have a hard time distinguishing my emotions, I hope this post helps others like me ^^ feel free to add your own tips on!

Shout out to age dreamers who feel invalid because they can't fully regress. Who have tried and tried to fully regress but can't. Who don't like the title "age dreamer" because they feel cut off from the rest of the age regression community. Who don't always realize they've regressed. Who don't outwardly express their regression. Or any other age dreamer. You are valid. You are seen. You are loved. You don't have to fit into a box. As long as it helps your mental health and doesn't harm yourself or others, you do you. As an age dreamer myself, I can say with full certainty, you are not alone and you are amazing. 🩷💖🩷💖

- DNI if your blog is NSFW/ABDL or any variation/dualcom, or if you interact with such content in a way that i can see from your blog - i will block you)

this is a self indulgent post nd what works for me a lot, but i hope it can maybe help others <3

affirmations for age regressors that grew up feeling guilty..

and still do

𓇼 first, try at taking a deep breath - like, a Reeeeal big one. inhale for 5 seconds - hold for 7 seconds - and exhale for 5 seconds. try to pay close attention to how it feels as the air fills your lungs and your torso stretches.

take as many deep breathes as you like.

(if youre thinking "taking deep breathes has never helped me before, this is stupid, i dont wanna do that" - thats okay, i get where youre coming from, but i really encourage you to try.)

𓇼 now you can repeat to yourself these statements:

𓆝 i didnt do anything wrong

𓆝 theres nothing to be ashamed of

𓆝 i am not hiding anything

𓆝 i am not a liar

𓆝 no one is upset with me

𓆝 there is not anything for anyone to 'find out'

𓆝 i am good

𓆝 i am trustworthy

𓆝 i am able to learn from my mistakes

𓆝 i am not in trouble

take time to mull over a statement if you find yourself stuck on it, or having trouble repeating it to yourself. let the words sit in your mind for as long as you like, then move on to the next one

you are okay <3

―୨୧⋆ ˚ tips for regressors struggling with depression and anxiety 🌧️

🧸 one thing that has helped me tremendously has been starting a therapy / mental health journal. you can find prompts online, or even come up with your own ! I find tracking my triggers (what makes me feel upset or anxious), reflecting on how I handled my day, writing my thoughts, and what I'd like to bring up in my next therapy session helps me feel a lot better. ૮ ◞ ﻌ ◟ ა

-- you can take time to learn about your brain and how it makes choices; for example, learning about and researching your trauma responses, mental illnesses and how to ground yourself during panic attacks. sometimes our brain can make us feel or think things that we can't control, so its important to differentiate between what we are telling ourselves and what our brain is telling us.

🫧 be kind to yourself and take time to rest if you need to. Indulge in things you like and find calming activities to do after a hard day such as coloring, doing a fun craft, playing a video game or using play therapy.

🧸 distance yourself from relationships or people that make you feel uncomfortable or are harmful to your mental health. its not mean to say you need space. you can still be friends and have established boundaries, and if someone dose not respect those boundaries its okay to distance yourself from them or take a break from talking to them until you start to feel better and are more capable of saying how important those boundaries are.

🫧 make sticker charts and schedules ! I have one for brushing my teeth. I also use a fun app on my phone called Pokémon Smile that reminds me to brush and sets a timer. ૮₍ ˃ ᵕ ˂ ₎ა

🧸 find little things to look forward to, like a new movie coming out, a birthday or a Holliday you love. sometimes I order little gifts for myself in the mail after doing a big task or getting trough a hard day hehe ! ૮ ◞ ﻌ ◟ ა

🫧 clean your space, and maybe even redecorate a little to give yourself a fresh start 🤍

🧸 find ways to "work around" overwhelming tasks like running errands or going to the doctor by bringing a comfort item or stuffed animal with you. you could keep them in your bag if you are too shy to hold them, but from my experience, no one seems to mind hehe. /lh I also like to pack fidget toys to hold when I get anxious.

note: I'm not a medical professional and I'm just speaking from my experience as someone with generalized anxiety disorder and severe depression. not everything listed here might work for you, but I hope you found this helpful. 💕 /lh

tbh normalise liking baby toys and genuinely not having or needing a deeper reason to.

maybe this COULD be explained by some aspect of my autism and sensory processing disorder but god damn it it doesn't NEED to be. I just fucking love this shit, unironically and purely wholesomely, and if you do too, more power to you bestie.

I don't know about anybody else, but it has been very hot. It is very important to drink water! (heat stroke is not fun,,, trust me!) but... water can be so boring!

so what do you do to remedy this? I have some tips!

🫧 Have a special cup just for water!

Having a special cup just for water might inspire you to remember to drink it! the cup can be anything, a bottle, sippy. I have a big big plastic cup that I put aluminum foil on top of. I then poke a straw in :>

🫧 Use fun ice cubes!

personally water is alot more pleasing to drink when it's ice cold. in itself ice cubes are neat, but you can jazz them up further! In the baking aisle of Walmart, they have molds meant for jellos and stuff you can use for ice cubes! I really wanna get a unicorn shaped tray 𖹭

🫧 Use flavor packets!

not everyone likes plain old water, and that's valid! a way to try and remedy this is to flavor it! There's so many flavoring options. you can get powder, drops, and all that sort. and you can get it sugar free! There's so many options. You can experiment as well to see how much you need to make it taste good to you. Not everyone's gonna want it saturated with artificial flavor, and not everyone is gonna want a drink that's just water with the vaguest touch of flavor. Do what's best for YOU!

thank you so much for reading! Hydration is so important, and in some situations when your body really needs it, soda and juices may not satisfy you in the way you need it to. I had to learn that the hard way, unfortunately, and it's not a fun experience at all! So have fun and stay hydrated, friends! 𖹭❀𖹭❀

some age regressors are also adult babies

some age regressors are also ageplayers

some age regressors are also pet players

some age regressors are also diaper lovers

some age regressors are also cg/l

some age regressors are also babyfurs

some age regressors are also kinky

some age regressors are also sexual

You are perfect how you are. Whether we are little, middle, or big at a certain moment, we all have diverse interests and lives that include many identities. We are all healing, loving, learning, and living to our own needs. We are all complex, and our experiences are unique. Whatever you do in the appropriate space is your business, and should be respected and honored for its importance to you.

Age regressors are not monolithic, we are all different, all valid, and all loved.

Hi little ones, I made up a printable guide for grounding when I start to have a panic attack. I thought maybe it could help you too!

[sunnysagereblog]

Some encouragement for my Age Dreamers:

💖 Just because you don't/can't fully regress, that doesn't make you any less valid.

🩵 You can still have a caregiver if you feel like you need own or even if you just want one that's okay too.

💖 It's okay if you don't want to do certain little activities if you're embarrassed. You don't have to force yourself to do those activities.

🩵 It's your coping mechanism. It won't look the same as others, and that's good. Don't compare yourself to others. You are on your own unique journey.

💖 If you're like me and want to fully regress but just can't, it's okay. It can be frustrating, I know, but don't be hard yourself. It's not your fault. You are doing everything right. You are just your own person. Don't try to force yourself to do something you can't. Just enjoy where you are right now.

🩵 You are still welcome in the Agere Community. There will always be a place for you.

I hope this reaches whoever needs it. And as a last in-general encouragement, I want you to know that you are loved. By so many and so much. You will never truly know how much you are loved. If you disappeared, you would be missed. Don't listen to the voices in your head that say otherwise. They are wrong. You are loved. I love all of you. You deserve happiness and all the best things in life. You are an absolute blessing to this world 💖

It’s ok to have a complicated relationship with your past self and inner child.

It’s okay if you are still angry about what happened.

You are allowed to change and grow

It’s okay if your inner child is sad, scared, and refusing comfort.

It’s okay if you are frustrated at your past self for mistakes or misbeliefs.

It’s okay if your inner child just needs the biggest hug right now.

Its okay if your life didn’t happen the way you imagined as a child

Your age regression doesn’t have to be an exact reversion back to your past self. You have changed and grown since then, and you can be a different kid in little space than you are in your memories

Your inner child might be the holder of trauma, anxiety, and depression. But they still deserve to heal.

Its okay if your inner child is insecure in identity or relationships

Its okay to struggle with internalized homophobia, transphobia, etc

Its okay if your regression brings back negative feelings

Its okay to dislike the person you used to be, but you deserve to forgive yourself.

Healing is not linear and it takes time

It’s okay to have a complicated relationship with your past self and inner child.
