bby day!!🖍️💖

[cult-of-the-eye]

I care for my younger sibling and it's difficult, there's a lot of emotional time and effort put into it alongside the chores (and my own mental health issues and general life stuff) but honestly when it all feels too much I just imagine I'm the cool single parent from all those early 2000s movies who has absolutely nothing together but in a respectable way. I'm "hey kiddo"-ing my way out of a mental breakdown.

Of course kiddo!!! Any time you want to give me a different nickname that’s fine with me!!! I so super duper appreciate you asking, I think pippa sounds adorable!! I’ve had a hard time trying to come up with neutral names for nb or just platonic caretakers who don’t feel comfortable with people calling them mama/dada, and I think given names are the best and most adorable way to have a unique name!

How’s your day going bugaboo? I’m very excited because I have an extra super long weekend thanks to the Fourth of July, so I get a whole five days off including today! Star and I are going to their aunts house tomorrow and hopefully Monday we’ll be hanging out with some friends! Today I’m doing some extra work trainings and Star has a few appointments, but the rest of the day has been nice and relaxing! I hope the weather is nice where you are, we’re definitely enjoying some sunshine where we are! Sending all the love and hugs from Star and I!

tw: mentions of neglect/abuse

carer with a traumatized age regressor they know they're helping to heal everytime they slip.

never received toys/were given very few toys as a kid? bubbas spoiling you in all the toys you want! if their kiddo is a little more shy and feeling guilty, they'll notice their little one eyeing a toy. "do you want it puppy? no need to feel bad, i just wanna give you everything you deserve"

went without food in public? carer will always order something for you, you never have to watch them eat while you have nothing. "oh honey I would never~ not only is that mean, but you gotta grow big and strong like me!"

went without food/snacks in private? your caregiver always makes sure they stock up on your favorite snacks and brands- no matter how specific they are. there's no shame in only eating a certain brand or flavor of chips. there's always groceries in the house and they're happy to cook for you, wanting to make sure you're safe AND fed. "are you hungy? I can get my sweetheart their favorite snack until the pastas done?"

had bad physical treatment? they would NEVER even THINK about laying a hand on you. if you misbehave or act up, they understand you're just in littlespace. like real kids, emotions can be hard and some moments arent good. sometimes kids like to test boundaries, there's nothing wrong with that. they won't let it slide and will issue lines, time outs, and stuff like early bedtime or shorter playtime- but nothing physical or mentally damaging. "angel I know you're all upset and shouting at bubba, but I need you to sit in the chair for 5 minutes. we don't yell."

missed out on a lot of childhood experiences? that's okay! your cg is soooo happy to integrate anything into their routine. whether it's storytime, going to the park, holiday celebrations, they're happy to accomodate! "oh you wanna have a bubba baby book read before your nap? of course little one!"

touch starved and wanting a lot of physical affection? they'll love on you SO much to try and make up for it! cuddles, pats, carries, boops, you got it! "awww does munchkin need a hug? cmere"

weren't treated the best emotionally? they understand how it can impact you. your carer always reminds you that you're not a burden, it wasn't your fault, and they truly do love you. they're not lying to you, they don't hate you, there's no maliciousness or ulterior motives- just pure love and care. "I know it was a lot, and I'm sorry you had to live through that angel- but I'm glad you're with me now. As long as I'm here, and as long as you'll let me- I won't let anyone treat you like that again. I pinky promise, my little love. Always, and forever."

Icl, this was very self indulgent to me- but I hope anyone who can sadly relate feels atleast a little bit of comfort and wholesomeness from this. I believe you. You're strong.

Kiddo who struggles to regress due to embarrassment and carer who absolutely adores them and misses their tiny one

“You wanna build blocks with me, bug?”

“Is it okay if I brush your hair, little love?”

“Do you wanna color me a pretty picture? We can hang it on the fridge after.”

Just slowly talking them down into that small space where they’re safe and relaxed <3 watching them slowly regress and sighing happily

“There’s my baby.”

(It’s me btw, I’m the kiddos who’s embarrassed to regress with anyone whoops)

you should do an informational post on caring for neurodivergent and/or chronically ill littles!!

caring for neurodivergent and chronically ill littles ! [a guide]

written by a neurodivergent little and a caregiver to a chronically ill little <3

[it should be noted that everyone experiences different symptoms/has different needs; i'll be focusing on sensory issues and chronic pain in this guide]

Be understanding !

It's important to remember for both caregivers and regressors that while something's may not make sense to us- that doesn't mean you can't be understanding.

You might not be able to feel the difference in fabric textures but your little/cg can.

Your legs might not hurt after walking short distances, but your little/cg's might.

These are real experiences your little/cg may deal with that you will have to be understanding of.

There may be times where your little/cg cannot play and need to rest, or times where games may need to be modified to ensure both of you have fun playing- reassure your little/cg that they are not burdens for needing accommodations !

Get creative !

"But Quinny, how can I make accommodations for my little/cg?!"

I'm glad you asked!! For neurodivergent littles/cgs, you may want to take extra time explaining the rules of a game or turning down the volume of shows/movies!

For chronically ill littles/cgs, low-movement activities such as arts 'n crafts or cozy pillow forts.

[There is a really great post by @mortuarymorticia about chronically ill carers that you can find, here!]

Be patient !

Flare-ups/Bad sensory days can lead to fussy littles.

Flare-ups/Bad sensory days can lead to caregivers needing breaks.

These are both okay! It's important to listen to each other's needs and limits; healthy cg/little dynamics work together to find compromises.

Tips & Tricks !

Finding dolls/books/toys with disbaility inclusive storylines/characters/features can do wonders!

Keeping fun/cute water bottles or sippy cups nearby! [Bonus points if you have some liquid IV on hand -- or just a electrolyte drink in general]

Mobiles are great for kiddos who need lotsa bed-rest!!

being chronically ill/disabled/neurodivergent does not make you a bad regressor/caregiver <3

👑Tips for littles on a budget👑

This is some tips for tinies (or carers looking for gifts for kiddos) on a budget! Of course you don't need any gear to be a good regressor but a lot of us like toys etc. and it's okay to want them!

🧸thrift stores, a lot of thrift stores have toys and plushies, sometimes they are a bit broken or dirty but there are lots of tutorials on YouTube for cleaning and restoring plushies and toys🧸

🐾e-books, you can find kids books online as e-books which are often pretty cheap or you can watch tiktoks of people reading those books🐾

🩷diy onesies, a lot of regressors like onesies but the prices are pretty steep, if you can't afford them don't fret! Its super easy and affordable to make one yourself all you need is an old t-shirt and snap buttons plus a way to attach them, just get a big t-shirt, sweatshirt or even hoodie and add 2-4 snap buttons in the crotch, boom you have a super cute and discreet onesie!🩷

🧸diy toys, there are lots of toys you can make yourself either by sewing or crafting and there's lot soft videos on YouTube for it, or get creative🧸

🐾mobile games, I love to play video games when im regressed but game consoles are expensive so free mobile games are a great alternative🐾

🩷dollar store etc, while you shouldn't rely on stores or websites that use cheap labor for everything it's okay to make exceptions every now and then, especially for toys, pacis, sippy cups and similar🩷

🧸pull ups, instead of cute printed diapers get big kid pull-ups in the baby-section or medical diapers from a drugstore, they are less then half the price of a pack of adult diapers from brands like tears etc.🧸

🐾learn to diy, making things yourself is often the most affordable thing to do, not with everything obviously but with a lot of things, learn as much stuff as you can so you can make lots of gear yourself🐾

🩷look for affordable stores, lots of paci stores on Instagram are very affordable and the ones that aren't often have sales so keep an eye out for that, lots of shops also have promoter codes they are happy for you to use, for example with my code 'bunnybab' you get a small discount at pacisbybunnie and cozypacicorner🩷

🧸buy second hand, thrift stores are a great place but if you want little specific stuff looking on vinted, swoop or even insta is a great idea! Lots of people sell gear they no longer connect with🧸

Fun fact of the day: Bluey's pilot was only a minute long and never actually aired

Kiddo that needs a little extra help regressing and carer that absolutely loves helping them .ᐟ

"It's okay kiddo, dada/mama/bubba will help you .ᐟ"

"What color is this, baby.ᐣ Good job honey, you're just so smart .ᐟ"

"No no, baby。You're far too small for that .ᐟ Dada/mama/bubba's got it, precious .ᐟ"

[hunniepuff]

carer staying up late playing video games when they hear their kiddo wake up, stumbling over to them with their blanket wrapped around them. "come here kiddo, why don't you sit on my lap while i finish this last round? I'd love for you to watch me play or hold you while you fall asleep." the carer says as they pat their lap, inviting them to sit down so they can keep them company. "you can go back to sleep, I'll be sure to watch over you. I'll carry you back to bed and tuck you in when I finish, does that sound alright, sweet pea?"

AgeRegressor!Viktor x Caregiver!Jayce headcanons 𖦹 °✩

— Viktor often fights regression to keep on working. Jayce notices and slowly creates a space that allows Viktor to give into the feeling.

— Viktor's childhood isn't something he likes to remember, and because of this his regression is often impure, but Jayce is always there to help him; weather that's through helping him rewrite parts of his childhood, or holding him close when he's having flashbacks. "Shh, it's okay Vik, I've got you"

— Viktor has a couple of old, tattered toys from his childhood that he keeps tucked away in a box under his bed. He doesn't like to play with them, but the fact they're there comforts him.

— Jayce slips into carer space really quickly. Any indication that Viktor is feeling small flips a switch in his brain instantly. Sometimes he finds himself calling Viktor "Kid" even when Viktor isn't tiny.

— Viktor very quiet, almost nonverbal besides small hums n "huh..?". But he's far more expressive in his emotions to make up for it. Looking up at Jayce w/ big amber eyes when he doesn't understand a question, n it makes Jayces heart melt every time.

— Jayce calls Viktor "Kid" or "Kiddo". Viktor doesn't really say much when tiny, but a few times he's slipped and called Jayce "Dad", which caught him off guard first, but Jayce couldn't ignore the warmth it brought to his chest each time.

— Viktor loves to help Jayce in the lab even when he's small but Jayce gets soso nervous that Viktor will hurt himself. "Oh god, Vik, please be careful, you're too small for that, let me do that". Jayce has thought about baby proofing the lab a few times, only to be scolded by big!Viktor. "I am perfectly capable of keeping myself out of harms way, Jayce" (he's not).

— Jayce loves to take naps with Viktor (probably more than Viktor loves to take naps). Making him a bottle of sweetmilk to help him sleep + scooping him up in a bundle of blankets. Playin' w/ his hair as he drifts off to sleep.

caregiver who keeps reminding their baby to be on their best behavior because christmas is a month away, the little angel just don’t know that their carer is planning on spoiling them either way cause how could they not . . . ?

wearing matching reindeer pajamas as they bake cookies and add the finishing touches to their christmas tree . . . !

kiddo reminding their dad / mom to leave out the cookies and milk for santa, tiny one who’s so hyper and excited that they slip deeper into their headspace out pure excitement / happiness as the time tick closer to midnight :(

baby who fell asleep early in the night because their dada / mama rocked them to sleep and couldn’t resist dozing off while in their carer’s arms, spending their first christmas eve together . . . — ♡

[itsy-bitsy-bby]

Kiddo who struggles with depression even when regressed

Kiddo who curls up in bed all day and can’t find the energy to move or do anything, who can’t stop themself from crying in a ball

Kiddo who can’t brush their hair or change their clothes or eat

And carer who comes in for the rescue

Carer who holds them and brushes their hair

Carer who knows their kiddo isn’t going to eat a full meal right now, but will eat something if they split a plate

“Do you wanna talk about it, bug?”

“I do. But I don’t know how, is that okay? I don’t know how to tell you about it. I’m sorry.”

“Don’t be sorry. It’s okay. Sometimes we have trouble finding the right words, right? You’ll find the words in your own time. How about for now we just cuddle. Want me to read you a story?”
